The Birth of the MIddle Ages

The birth of the middle ages started around the year 500 with the fall of Rome by the Visigoths. There were many tribes throughout Europe that wanted control: like the Rus, Vikings, and the Normans. Charlemagne and his family were great leaders at this time and they even conquered England at the battle of Hastings. During this time a government called Feudalism developed that put people in a class order. This upset many people because they didn’t have freedom. This lead to the creation of the Magna Carta which allowed people the right to a jury, fair measurement, and  a court.

I think that Robin Hood was real. Seven people stole his name. He was a very good archer. He was very sneaky. They could not find him. He was a very bad man. He killed people. His name was not Rodin hood his real name was Robin hode. He live up in the mountains. We will never now if he was real or not.
