=====================
An exploration of life in Britain following the invasion of 1066 through the eyes of a Norman family. In their motte and bailey castle, the children play and learn, and grow up to be a knight or to be married off. We are shown the impact of the Norman Conquest on life for Anglo-Saxons; who benefited and who lost out, and what life was like for the Normans after the Conquest.
This clip is from the BBC series The Story of Britain: A compilation of animated shorts that bring the history of Britain alive. Exploring the Mesolithic period to the Domesday Book, we meet some of the families who shaped the 'Story of Britain'. These films are designed to help children understand the chronology of history.

Teaching History?
Teachers can use this to introduce the concept of motte and bailey castles. By 1086 the Normans had built nearly 500 motte and bailey castles. Students can be tasked to find out if there was one built near them. Pupils can also look into Mountfitchet Castle, in Essex, which has been rebuilt on the site of the original. This could start discussions on life in 1066. What would it have been like living in a motte and bailey castle? How secure do you think motte and bailey castles were? What happened to castles over the next 400 years that made them stronger and safer to live in?
This clip will be relevant to teaching History at KS2 or at Second Level (Scotland).
