Medieval England *In-Person* *NEW*

This course covers the history of England from 1066 to 1485, as well as the prior Anglo-Saxon and Norse background. We will cover England's political history, but the focus will be on social history. We will look at the feudal-manorial system, trade and economics, the church and religion, language and literature, philosophy, science, folk belief, and the daily life of the different social classes.
