Medieval Times

Travel back to medieval times as Calum Macdonald and Kerry Anne Macleod continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.

Medieval comes from the Latin word for middle and describes a time just after the Romans and directly before the Renaissance. That's why it's sometimes called the Middle Ages.

In today's programme, the History Hunters prepare for a medieval party by making special wax seals to keep their party invitations safe from prying eyes. The Hunters also investigate how wind was used to harness power in the Middle Ages. To do this they use a milk carton windmill with a cork and string winch.

Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne look at how the stained glass windows of the time were made and why they were used and tell us all about medieval punishments!
