Between 0 and 1200 CE, the world moved from the Late Iron Age (that saw the decline of the Roman Empire) into the Middle Ages of the Medieval period. In Europe, the Dark Ages gave way to the dominance of the Holy Roman Empire, while the Byzantine Empire stood firm in Russia for hundreds of years. Britain saw the Vikings, Normans and Plantagenets come and go, while in America the Mayans, Aztecs, Incas and multitudes of indigenous tribes were dominant.
Take your students back in time by a thousand years (or two!) and explore a British castle, a Native American settlement and a Viking landing.
