What on earth happened in the measly Middle Ages? Well… lots of really rotten things, actually! In the Middle Ages, the world was full of wild women, mad monks, naughty knights and crazy kings and queens! So read on if you want to know…
  • a genuine jester’s joke
  • why chickens had their bottoms shaved
  • what ten-year-old treacle was used for

Plus, you can find out all about miserable Medieval monks, the dreaded Black Death, and schools that really knew how to make the kids suffer! And there are gruesome games and revolting recipes to try at home as well!
