Publisher's Synopsis
"The Age of Chivalry" is one of a number of evidence-based topic books designed to accompany the "Presenting the Past" series. Each illustrated booklet, aimed at pupils in the first three years of secondary school, provides an opportunity for students to examine in depth key periods and aspects of history.;The topics are approached from the point of view of contemporary written and visual evidence and there is strong emphasis not just on the people who made history but on those who wrote and otherwise recorded it. Pupils are encouraged to enter into the period and identify with the people who lived through it, while the large amount of evidence presented is intended to provide more scope for detecting bias and for encouraging pupils to form their own opinions.
