and the Medieval Times

2. Art in the Medieval Times
• Stained-Glass: reached it height in ancient
rome between 1150 and 1500. These pieces
of art were built for the great cathedrals in
rome in ancient times.

3. Stained Glass
Theophilus is said to be
the creator of stained
glass and most of the
stained glass still
standing in most of the
great churches and
theaters and stuff still
standing today. To
assemble the window,
pieces of colored and
painted glass are laid out
on the design board,
with the edges of each
piece fitted into H-
shaped strips of lead.

4. Stained Glass in
Cathedrals
This incomplete but splendid
example of St. George fighting
the Dragon fills a large area of
the south wall at Broughton.
The roof was restored and
made lower at some time after
it was painted in the later 15th
century and the head and
shoulders of George himself
have gone as a result.
Medieval artists invariably
painted horses well, but here
the Dragon too is very stylishly
rendered indeed as St. George
thrusts his spear into its mouth.
The saint bears his Red Cross
on his shield; his elaborate
armor helps to date the
painting.

5. Stained Glass in
Cathedrals
Pictured at the here is St.
Bartholomew. This is a rare
sighting of the saint, who is not
common anywhere. There is a
13th century painting of him in a
window splay, much mutilated, at
Tidmarsh in Berkshire, again
paired as here with St. John the
Evangelist, and one in a splay
beside the Doom at Chalgrove in
Oxfordshire, where, in a painting
contemporary with this one, he is
paired with St. Laurence. At
Maresfield in Sussex, a church
dedicated to Bartholomew, a
12th century painting, thought to
be of his Martyrdom, is recorded,
but that church was radically
restored in 1878/9 and its
paintings lost.

6. King Arthur and the Knights of the
Round Table
• The historical accuracy of King Arthur and the Knights
of the Round Table has holes in it. Back when Arthur
lived battling was a way of gaining fame. There is no
real evidence that can prove what really happened in
King Arthur’s history. When families pass stories down
from generation to generation they get the truth
stretched and people exaggerate. People make up
legends all the time to get fame. Arthur is just a
legend with no evidence behind his stories. His
stories are there to give a legendary figure that
provides strength, bravery, and leadership. He fought
side by side his knights when they went to war with
barbarians and Rome.

7. King Arthur and the Knights of the
Round Table
• . His nephew Sir Gawain was one of his personal
knights that fought side by side him. Sir Gawain was
called the Green Knight. Sir Gawain’s closest friend Sir
Lancelot accidentally killed Sir Gawain’s brothers and
caused the knights to fight among each other. Before his
death, sir Gawain repented of his bitterness towards Sir
Lancelot and forgave him.

8. Feudalism

of Kings, Barons, Knights, and Villeins. Each

levels of government

9. Feudalism
• In feudalism the King granted land to his
closest friends, and he gave them many gifts.
• The lowest people on the totem pole were the
pheasants and they did whatever the king
needed and in return they received protection
from the King.

10. Feudalism
• The women in the society were confined to
the house, and they handled the duties of
cleaning, cooking, and taking care of their
young. Some became nuns, and some were
known for using witchcraft. Some women
were field hands, some wrote and played
music, some women even fought in battle!
