Each week you’ll examine a different aspect of the 15th century period, including medieval warfare, food and culture, death and commemoration, and more. Now’s your chance to travel back in time.

Anyone interested in medieval England or the recent discovery and reburial of Richard III will find something to fuel their interest here. No prior knowledge or expertise are needed.

    Very engaging course. Focuses on the period of the War of the Roses. There are readings, videos and quizzes. Recommended for any age or level of education.
  • Informative and wide, course takes you through all aspects of live and all people living in 15th century England. Only negative is that course creators didn't interact with students at all.
