LIFE IN ENGLAND
Mostly agricultural during the Middle Ages. Transport was slow, and
most people walked or traveled on horseback.

Despite the building of a network of roads during Roman times, the


roads were not of good quality.

In contrast, boats were a better means of transport during the Middle


Ages which meant that ports developed on towns and small cities.

Ports were also centers of trade with different parts of Europe. Due to
a loack of mobility, most people lived in villages.

The lord owned the land, collecting taxes and overseeing a system of
law and roder.

The lords tend to live in manor houses or castle, contrsry to the


majority of people.

There were harsh punishments for people who did not pay their taxes
or who broke the law. These often involved some form of physical
torture or huniliation.

A system called “trial by ordeal” was used to determine whether


people were innocent of a particular crime.

For example, a trial by fire involved the accused walking over red hot
bars for a certain distance. If the wounds healed quicklty the accused
was said to be innocent.
Women often played a subservient role to men during the Middle Ages
and had few rights. They were not able to choose their husband and
often had to work hard in farming as well as bringing up children.

Religion played an important role in the daily life of people and the
Catholic Churches, was influential in England during the Middle Ages.
