The Middle Ages were, in a certain way, a time of darkness. Stories and history were primarily passed on through the ages by word of mouth. However, this changed when a man, a monk named Bede, took pieces of history and wrote books describing these historical events. Bede was able to learn through his monastery’s library and became the Middle Ages’ greatest scholar. Without him, our knowledge of this time period might have been limited and historical events lost. Around the time of Bede’s birth…

year; for example, in 1273 8 million sheep were sheared (Gimpel 46). Breeders even started to use selective breeding to develop sheep with longer hair, which would have been more profitable (Gimpel 45). One of the causes of the largest war in the Middle Ages between England and France, was wool. The 100 Year War went on for about 116 years, and was partially a dispute over land, which held sheep on it, and England also wanted to protect their wool trade with Flanders, so they fought to protect…

percent of seniors over 65 will suffer at least one fall resulting in hospitalization according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In fact, elderly falls are the number one cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries in seniors over the age of 65.
