Living in England around the 10th to the 14th Century.

In this system people promised to be loyal to a stronger person (the King or Lord) and in return that person was given protection.

The society was very ordered and had a strict hierarchy of roles and positions.

Powerful Lords or Barons ( backed by a ruler) gave land to fiefs or serfs ( peasants).

They would farm the land.Other people of a slightly higher

status would work for the Lord to keep the serfs and others in order.

Draw a diagram that shows our societies structure.

Discuss with a friend how it is similar and / or different to feudal days?

You have been placed in a time machine and have been transported back to that village and the year is 1165.

Each of you will be given a role and place in society.

You will then have to find out how you lived and write a diary detailing a week in your new village.

Each Village will then have to come together and write a play that highlights a typical day in the life of the Village.
