  • Invasion, migration, and settlement

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the impact of conquest and settlement on medieval Britain. They learn about the roles played by Viking and Norman invasions, the growth of the Angevin Empire and the impact of the Hundred Year's War.

This unit uses and builds on various units that deal with change and continuity from key stages 1, 2 and 3. It develops and reinforces pupils' big picture of the past that they have established in thematic units about seafarers and women. It also enriches and consolidates the majority of year 7 units, which focus primarily on the medieval world. This unit prepares pupils for the next, where migration is examined during the early modern period.

  1. The arrival of the Vikings
  2. The Danish conquest
  3. The Norman conquest (1066)
  4. Angevin Empire
  5. The Hundred Years' War
