In the 1800’s, the archaeologists found a empty ship that was full of tombs and goods such as jewelries. They were very brave and dramatic, thinking they could beat everyone else they meet.

Some of the knights went on Crusades to get rich or to steal a new home from the people they were fighting, but most of the knights went to get healed of their sins. Richard the Lion Heart (or Richard the I of England) was a famous general in the Crusades. The fourth Crusade (1199-1204) started off with a tournament against the Turks in France but the Crusade ended in tragedy. Most of the armies that went were already half destroyed by the Turks. They didn't reach Jerusalem. All together there were six Crusades in a period of 176 years. The Crusades lasted from 1095 until 1271.

The monks - The monks did not talk in the dining room. instead, they made signals to each other. They were allowed only one meal a day in the wintertime and two in the summertime. There were two separate dining rooms. the monks did not eat meat except if they were ill and on certain days. The scriptorium was where books and manuscripts were written and illustrated. The monks would decorate them with beautiful paints and gold leaf. The monks that decorated them were called illuminators. You had to be very skilled to be an illuminator.
