9. EVALUATION My project has been about the differences of living in medieval times compared with living in modern times ie living around the time of the Battle of Hastings and living in the 21 st Century. While researching my project I have looked at various areas of life including: War Lifestyle Food Houses Transport Weaponry I have found out that life in the modern day is a lot better and we are more advanced in all the above areas than it was in the medieval times. Life in medieval times was very basic and everything had to be worked for whereas today we have advanced so much that we do not have to work as much for things ie we can just go to the shop and buy a loaf of bread but in Medieval England they would have had to make it from scratch. Other areas that have greatly improved are the weapons. Our modern day army is equipped with so many weapons for both land and sea as well as air. In Medieval England they only had the use of bows and arrows, swords and horses for combat. William the Conqueror had to sail for days across the English Channel to get to England for the Battle of Hastings and he would only have had horseback to travel on. Nowadays we can cross the channel within minutes and have the use of all sorts of military transport. I think that I would prefer to live in the modern day than live in Medieval times as we have so much more in all the above areas then they did back then. Life was more simple for Medieval England so they wouldn’t have had the stresses we have today but I would still prefer to live now.
