Grandpa is a student of history, and his favorite English Monarch is Henry II. Grandpa says that the conflict between Henry and Thomas Beckett (Archbishop of Canterbury) was what history in the Middle Ages was all about - the conflict between Church and State for dominance in Europe. To read more about Henry II, click on his picture below.

Please send me some E-mail and tell me what you think of the site.

During the Middle Ages there were very few books. There are a couple of reasons for this. First of all, not many people could read (the ability to read belonged to the clergy and some of the upper classes). Secondly, there were no printing presses. Everything had to be copied by hand. These were done by monks called scribes. There's a picture of one at the top of this page.

Some of these manuscripts were decorated beautifully and were works of art. Look below to see an example.

On 26 May 1998, my Uncle Marc and Aunt Des took me to see "Quest for Camelot". It's really a great movie! Click on the logo below to find out more, and even play a couple of nice games.
