I have been searching for a course like this for a long time and can finally enjoy the true knowledge about medieval women, it was very insightful.

Another enjoyable course! No criticisms!

I was absolutely mesmerized by the lesson on Anne Boleyn's coronation. It was well past time to shut the computer off but I read a paragraph and the "story" of her coronation was so real, colorful and exciting that I couldn't stop reading.
Thank you so much for such professional work that allows me to continue to learn and occasionally find myself back in 1533 as I did last night.

I really enjoyed this course, the modules were fascinating. The audio lessons were both informative and enjoyable. I have definitely learnt a lot about the day to day lives of medieval people.
Jennifer June 7, 2017
Very interesting and well presented.
Janet Avery October 23, 2019
I LOVED the course! All you need is a computer and you're set. I like that you can keep the transcripts from each module. I think the parts I enjoyed the most were the examples of 'ever day' people. Instead of just focusing on royalty there were countless examples of commoners, middle class people, higher ranking people and of course royalty. Loved that!

I loved this course and it reinforced my knowledge of Richard and the war of the roses
Karen Clewes July 22, 2020
I always enjoyed reading about this historical period. I found the course interesting and learned many interesting facts.
Francine Friedland December 15, 2020
I really enjoyed the course because I feel like I know so much more about women in the medieval and Tudor period, as I don't think there is enough information readily available about them.
Rebecca Morris November 29, 2019
I did enjoy the course, thank you!
Diana December 21, 2016
Very clear and concise.
Marie February 22, 2023
This course was incredibly informative, it told me so much about the crime and punishment law that I did not know, it was awesome.

It was great! I enjoyed the history of crime and punishment and especially the individual histories of criminals I've never heard of since I'm in the States. Mary Ann Cotton's case is especially interesting and sad. Interesting, too, that one of the perpetrators was shipped off to Maryland where I live. I always get so much out of these courses and this one was no exception. Thank you for the course!

Although I thought this course rather brief in its materials, quite an in depth study was provided. The C of E has always intrigued me as I was raised Lutheran and not only enjoyed learning about Martin Luther but Henry VIII- particularily as he was so against Martin Luther's leaning initially. I find it fascinating how politics and religion try time and again throughout history to convince people they are "seperate" entities but are so completely intertwined and almost inseperable.
Deborah Harsen March 26, 2018
I loved this course, I thought it was throughly enjoyable 🙂 thank you!
Charlotte July 27, 2017
I really enjoyed the course. It was very interesting and i particularly liked the stories of individual people that were told. Looking forward to more courses here! Thank you!

I am so enjoying the course - more than I expected - I have read all of Claire's books so knew her research was extensive - this surpasses those expectations.
Debbie January 31, 2017
This course was very informative. So interesting to see the long term effects of Henry's actions
Leticia Wolters February 8, 2018
I really did enjoy the course.
Mary October 1, 2016
Very good indeed. Thanks a lot !!!
Newton July 21, 2017
Thoroughly enjoyed this course, just as I've enjoyed each previous course that I've taken here! Particularly happy that you devoted time to William Marshal!
Laticia May 9, 2017
I loved the course, studying each new topic was a real treat for me after a boring working day, and I didn’t expect to be so gripped
Polina Zemtsevatrista-farnon April 23, 2018
I'm still working on The Warrior Kings which is a challenge with so much to remember! I always enjoy whatever you have to say about any of these great historical topics
Sandra January 30, 2017
I found this course extremely informative on the Reformation. I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson in the history and the reasonings for the changes that were made at different times of, and in the name of, the Bible. I had not studied this area in the past and so many of the reasons, especially the initial reason, being that of Henry's battle in attempting to obtain his divorce was new and interesting to me. Very good course, in my opinion.
Michial Schmitt September 9, 2020
I loved this course and learned so much more about the Wars of the Roses and King Richard III!
Allison Stohacker February 19, 2020
I was very pleased to see the first course from Medieval Courses, “Everyday Life of Medieval Folk”, offers a truly exhaustive and beautifully-crafted look at medieval society... “Everyday Life of Medieval Folk” brings you an extensively detailed and wonderfully diverse overview of medieval society; this is real social history with real stories about real people.
Olga December 30, 2015
I enjoyed working my way through the modules and learned much. I liked the way "asides" were inserted into the text so that reading did not become a chore, more of an enjoyment. Many of my misconceptions and gaps in knowledge were corrected. Thank you.
Sally February 8, 2017
I enjoyed it very much, thanks.
Monica L October 29, 2019
I found this course through FaceBook and enjoyed it immensely! I hope to purchase more of your courses soon, and will recommend them to others.

i love this course about richards life
Cameron Mounde February 12, 2021
The course material was very comprehensive and helped to finish the course.
Very intriguing history of early English royals.Barbara Cole March 28, 2021
I have really enjoyed this course. I knew a fair amount before, but there were so many little details and case studies, it has given me real insight into the lives of medieval people.
Jen Morgan March 28, 2021
i loved everything
Cameron Mounde February 12, 2021
The courses are great and I hope to take as many as possible. Not having a deadline is nice and no final exams or papers to write!
Sandra October 21, 2016
It’s interesting to learn about how ordinary people lived during this time.
Kathleen Heffeman October 7, 2020
Really interesting
Wendy Ahl August 20, 2018
I thought the course was excellent. It gave enough information, but not too much. It was thorough, interesting and I enjoyed having to answer the questions. Again, I thought the balance of the course to be perfect. Many thanks, I genuinely enjoyed it!
Virginia August 21, 2016
Fascinating, thank you so much.
Wendy Ahl January 29, 2018
I have done other courses through Medieval Courses. I enjoyed this one and felt that it was well paced and informative.
Alison Riseley November 6, 2017
I enjoyed every minute of doing the course, as a relatively recently new member of the Richard the III Society it has given me a very good basis on which I can build and learn more. I can now contribute to discussions more. It has also along with some other sources helped me finally make a decision about what I believe happened to the Princes, not that I doubted Richard's good character for a minute!
The course is well set out, clear and easy to understand. Easy to start, put down and then return to again so as it can be fitted into a busy life. I think I may well go on to do the heroes and villains course when I have the money to do so.
Caroline June 23, 2016
I absolutely loved it!!! Honestly it was so informative and I loved reading about the Borgias. They're a family that have always fascinated me. So! :). Another amazing course, I can't wait to do more :).
Charlotte June 30, 2017
Really enjoyed this course
Christine Houghton April 3, 2018
I have been a member of the Richard lll Society for many, many years and I can honestly say I loved this course which Toni has written and produced beautifully.
I hope it will encourage others to learn about Richard and his life and times. This is a fascinating period to study which has everything: battles, knights, castles, treason - sufficient to surely draw the interest of those with an interest in past.
Well done to all concerned!Janine March 22, 2016
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and only wish that it had been much longer. It reinforced my knowledge from the numerous books that I have read on the subject and I gleaned many new facts. I had not expected the inclusion of the 1984 Trial which I had previously dismissed due to its date (i.e. not having the facts of the most recent archaeological finds) but found it very interesting.

I absolutely loved this course - full of titbits of information I didn't know! I also appreciated the references to records and of real people - it makes all the difference when informed of something. Wonderful!
Jen Morgan September 3, 2021
I loved this course. It is easy to follow and incredibly interesting. I highly recommend this.
Jennifer Brwon March 17, 2021
This course is such an eye opener into the life and times of both women and men and also the mention of children . The units are both balanced and reasoned and can be absorbed. Yes a brilliant course .
Paul Barnett November 23, 2020
It was mentioned in a Medieval Archives podcast that I subscribe to. I am enjoying these courses quite a lot, and I was not expecting the layout of the courses to be as easily accessible as they are.
