Rendition Conducive To Books Dark Knights And Dingy Castles (Horrible Histories Specials #5)

This book is amazing. In the usual equation of humor + violence + gore + good drawing = good book, this Horrible History focuses on the era of Knights. It has reports on battles and what gave who the upper hand. This book also contains information about ancient tournaments, such as jousting and melées and then teaches you techniques for winning them.
As usual, what Horrible History book would be complete without a timeline showing you the most well-known events of the time of Knights. Some of the most famous events include William the Conqueror and his friends making castles in England, and when they switched from chain-mail to complete iron plating.

If you've read any other books in the series you'll know these aren't exactly happy-happy-flower books but they're still very entertaining.

Column About Books Dark Knights And Dingy Castles (Horrible Histories Specials #5)

Horrible Histories is a series of illustrated books published in the UK by Scholastic. They are designed to get children interested in history by concentrating on the trivial, unusual, gory, or unpleasant. They are exceptionally well loved by my history loving children

Best way to tell about histories is to tell it humorously (^v^)

Oke kinders luister, als je iemand in je leven hebt die jonger is en dol is op geschiedenis dan is er geen enkele serie die ik meer aanraad dan deze serie. Ze zijn geweldig. Ze zijn hilarisch en vol met echte feiten. Boeken voor kinderen worden zo vaak 'verdomd', doen alsof kinderen eigenlijk niets snappen en dat werkt averecht kan ik je zeggen. Dit is een geweldige serie om kinderen geïnteresseerd te krijgen in geschiedenis! :)

Borrowed this from my history loving 10 yo daughter and loved it! I sort of remember these books from being in my later years of school and wish they were around earlier. Really good material for younger children interested in history and highly entertaining for big kids like me too!

As always well written, interesting books for children to learn about history in a fun and amusing way.

good

One thing I learned in this book is that when William the Bastard of Normandy came and invaded England in 1066, he brought a pre-fab castle with him. Who knew? I didn't realize that pre fab was around that long!
