Medieval Weapons And Siege Engines: England
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Self-preservation is a core component of human survival; in order for man to withstand threats to self and society, tools were necessary in order to outmaneuver the opposition. Medieval England has a rich and extensive arsenal of weaponry and siege engines that were instrumental in the many battles engaged for social, political and economic power; so valuable and highly prized were they that it was not uncommon for the implements to be buried with the dead. The extent to which these armaments continued a progression of battle tools that evolved from rudimentary to technologically advanced (Dawson, 2005) is both grand and far-reaching; such relatively simplistic weaponry was not only effective but quite ingenious for the level of apparatus and know-how available at the time. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Richard II
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Richard II was not the most popular of British monarchs, nor did he take the throne at a very opportune time. The combination of Black Death, an epidemic that took the lives of nearly one-half of the entire population, and Richard's inability to lead with any political prowess cost him the chance to regain a solid British stance under effective leadership. So bound by authoritarian rule was Richard that his unyielding reign soon set off a revolution that served to be the beginning of the end for this particular monarch's authority.
