Domesday Book - The National Archives

Domesday Book - The National Archives | Year 7: the Middle Ages | Scoop.it
From www.nationalarchives.gov.uk - August 17, 2017 10:48 AM
Empty description
Kent College History's insight:
'Domesday Book is the oldest government record held in The National Archives. In fact there are two Domesday Books – Little Domesday and Great Domesday, which together contain a great deal of information about England in the 11th century. In 1086, King William I (the Conqueror) wanted to find out about all the land in his new kingdom: who owned which property, who else lived there, how much the land was worth and therefore how much tax he could charge, so he sent official government inspectors around England to ask questions in local courts.'

Kent College History's insight:
'The Bayeux Tapestry is the most famous needlework in the world today. But there is a great deal of controversy over where and by whom it was made and about the historical events it depicts. This site presents the evidence and discusses the alternative theories so that you can make up your own mind what you think really happened.'

Domesday Book - Britain's finest treasure | The National Archives | Year 7: the Middle Ages | Scoop.it
From www.nationalarchives.gov.uk - October 15, 2014 3:48 PM

Domesday is now available online, and you can search for your town or village, and download images of Domesday along with an English translation of the entry. You can also read more about Domesday in two exhibitions. The Discover Domesday exhibition explains why Domesday was created and how you can interpret it; while the World of Domesday exhibition depicts life in 11th century England. You can also access Domesday resources for teachers, play the Domesday game and test your knowledge with our quiz!

Kent College History's insight:

The National Archives is the home of Domesday Book, the oldest surviving public record.

Why ‘Bad King John’ was actually Good

Why ‘Bad King John’ was actually Good | Year 7: the Middle Ages | Scoop.it
From www.historyextra.com - May 28, 2017 7:12 AM
One might have hoped that the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta would have provided at least some oxygen to the argument that ‘Bad King John’ was perhaps not too ‘Bad’ after all; and – whisper it – that in some ways this traditionally most maligned of monarchs was perhaps really rather Good.
Kent College History's insight:
'Was ‘Bad King John’, as he has been famously nicknamed, really as ‘bad’ as history has made him out to be? Here, writing for History Extra, author Graham E Seel considers John’s governance, and asks whether it is time to change our opinions of him...'

The Battle of Hastings in 1066 was a cataclysmic event in English history. How did it transform the country's culture and language forever?
Kent College History's insight:
'On the 28 September 1066, around 7,000 soldiers from Northern France landed on the Sussex coast. Led by William, the Duke of Normandy, they were soon to launch a battle that would become one of the most famous in all of English History – the Battle of Hastings.'
