My name is Joseph Gokey. I attend Northwest High School.
I have constructed this website to delve into the royalty, hard times, and vast expanse of history and knowledge of the Middle Ages, also known as the Medieval Times. I will be explaining not only the finer points, such as royalty and the coat of arms associated with each family, but also some of the more devastating times such as the Crusades and the Mongol invasions. Thanks to my sources, I am able to splurge on the information I have discovered on these subjects on this website; enjoy!
The Middle Ages was a time period 700 yrs. ago, consisting of the years 1400-1600 and saw many wars and much blood. During these long 200 yrs., England, Ireland, Spain, and many other European countries saw many royal families, many wars for thrones; just about everything a normal ancient time period would go through. But what makes the Middle Ages different from the rest, what makes them special, are the unusual events that took place other than your ordinary turf wars. One such thing is the Bubonic Plague, also known as the Black Death. Another such event could include the Eight Crusades, or perhaps the Mongol invasions; both war, yes, but not your standard rebellion for the crown and castle. These and other topics are such discussed when conversing about the Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages or Medieval Times; they are also the entire topic of this website, which has been created for the sole purpose of sharing this information with an inquisitive young mind such as yourself.
