Armour, glory and castles – the life of a knight in the Middle Ages

Section of the Murten diorama.

Kindergarten | Elementary School | Intermediate level

Knights went into battle for glory and honour; they were bold, strong and valiant. But what did a knight do when he wasn’t fighting? How did one become a knight in the first place? And what was everyday life like at a knight’s castle? Children explore how life was in the times of noblewomen and knights.
