I love the course! I love opportunities that give me the chance to step into the Tudor world and learn, and this is perfect! I love the flexibility, as you guys know I have very little free time. This course gives me the opportunity to learn at my leisure. That is so great for people like me!!!

I have enjoyed the course. The lessons have been well presented and the subject matter has been very interesting. The quotes from original texts really brings history to life.

Thank you for letting me try out this course during your trial period. I really enjoyed all of the modules (20!) and learned a lot of things I didn't know before. Toni Mount's research is great, and Claire Ridgway's reading made learning a joy.

Just wanted to say thank you for the above course. Mr Russell did a very good job presenting it. I learned a lot, even more about my favorite queen, Anne Boleyn.

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
Just great 🙂

I loved the course. It has tied in with other courses I've done around 'local history' (in a broad sense). I've realised that Medieval History is a particular interest of mine. I have done this course for no other reason than interest as I am retired now, but still enjoy learning.

I absolutely loved everything about the course. I enjoy being able to read and listen to the course material. Each module has been fascinating and with just the right amount of detail. I have loved each module so much that I shall definitely read and listen to the modules again and again. I especially enjoy doing the end of module quiz and I found the family trees extremely useful. I was surprised by the televised trial and I was totally engrossed in it. I loved the video of the poem written by the Poet Laureate. I found it beautiful, thought-provoking and moving. Thank you for a wonderful course.

I have loved this course and I have learned a great deal. It is well-constructed and very accessible, which makes learning a real joy. Thank you to all concerned.
Angela Blaydon September 18, 2017
I greatly enjoyed taking Everyday Life of Medieval Folk from Medieval courses. The 20 modules cover a wide range of interesting topics and detail many fascinating people and facts.
Each module is written in an easy to follow style and filled with so many wonderful tidbits of medieval daily life and the end of module quiz is a great way to test your knowledge of what your learning.
I highly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in learning more about the medieval time period. I found I learned a lot more about the time period than I previously knew. Thank you, Toni.Marsha January 19, 2016
I really enjoyed the course! It was very informative.
Kimberly Finney May 8, 2018
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.
Anthony Cox May 10, 2018
I enjoyed it very much, thanks.
Monica L October 29, 2019
I love everything about these courses! I love how they are taught and proceed! Thanks so much!!
Julie March 6, 2017
This course was very interesting. It really gave insight into what life was like for women in this time.
Jaime Saranczak April 5, 2020
Really interesting
Wendy Ahl August 20, 2018
This course was very stimulating and highly interesting.
Samantha July 21, 2017
Very interesting and intriguing course I learned quite a lot from it. Thank you!
Sandra Warfield July 2, 2019
I loved this course and it reinforced my knowledge of Richard and the war of the roses
Karen Clewes July 22, 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Andrea June 7, 2017
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 this course! As a lover of medieval British history, I was so excited to find a course on women! Aside from being extremely informative on the lives of women across the social scale, it was also very entertaining! I can’t wait to sign up for my next course!
Jackie Kossoff April 3, 2018
I always enjoyed reading about this historical period. I found the course interesting and learned many interesting facts.
Francine Friedland December 15, 2020
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course, and plan on taking many more from you!
Amanda November 14, 2016
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.
Sandra August 4, 2017
I found this course extremely enjoyable. It cast a new light on Richard III and dispelled some of the myths I thought were truth. I still have questions but there are just some things we can't know. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in history.
Kimberly April 18, 2017
Really enjoyed it. These modules are a nice length and well constructed.
Wendy February 22, 2023
I was not expecting the depth of detail....I really enjoyed this course- and found it through studying past courses. I just finished reading "Heroines of the Medieval World" by Sharon Bennett Connolly and would suggest this be added to the suggested reading list as many of the women discussed in this course are found in this wonderful book.
I also enjoyed, in particular, the referring back to peoples introduced at different times of this course. Well done!Deborah Harsen June 29, 2018
I am an amateur medievalist and ate up this course - full hog! Toni Mount presents a delightful and insightful examination of ordinary (tho truly exceptional) lives lived so many hundreds of years ago. Each person is examined as his and her stations in life are exposed and gently likened to "modern" traditions. I loved this course and want more!
Jerice March 7, 2017
It’s interesting to learn about how ordinary people lived during this time.
Kathleen Heffeman October 7, 2020
A wonderful course full of fascinating detail. This course has brought Anne Boleyn to life for me and it has inspired me to learn more. The modules have been so enjoyable, filled with interesting facts and quotes, that I shall listen to them again and again. Thank you for a fantastic course.
Libby May 3, 2017
The content of the course was well organized. The reader did an excellent job.
Rich January 9, 2017
The course was wonderful! I learned a lot of new information. I think the course paired well with the other courses offered by Medieval Courses. I also really like the bonus material that was added.
Kimberly April 28, 2017
A great and worthwhile course. I will study more on Medieval Courses for certain!
Tonya Osborne-Blake October 30, 2017
Fascinating, thank you so much.
Wendy Ahl January 29, 2018
I am enjoying the course as they are filling in some blanks, I did recreational history at Kentwell Hall for 30 years and am OK on the Tudor stuff but I felt I had gaps in the early stuff, so am using the course as a jump-off point, and I am having fun.
Michael September 1, 2020
The course material was very comprehensive and helped to finish the course.
Very intriguing history of early English royals.Barbara Cole March 28, 2021
The readings were interesting and not too bogged down with dates to have to remember. The End I’d Lesson quizzes were fun!
Wendy Robertson May 17, 2020
How we used to live... So fascinating, especially when compared with the similarities of today. Toni Mount has produced an interesting and engaging course which I absolutely loved completing. I have learned so much! My favourite section was The Archer's Tale and I liked the video of the man who completed the pilgrimage to Canterbury from Southampton. Well done, Toni! This course is a winner!
Janine April 25, 2016
This course was delightful- very well presented and educational all the while entertaining. I was able to work on this course during my two weeks' spring break over the Easter holiday- all my "free" time- I found myself empathizing with these women of history. Laundry was being done, grocery lists being made, dinner cooking, treats baking, house being dusted and vacuumed, sheets changed...all the while my mind on the next section of this course. Truly I realized that with all the difficulties I think I have running a household (and only for my husband and I and our two himalayan kittens: Shakespeare and Paddington as our three children are grown and gone!), I cannot begin to place myself in the time line of the medieval and tudor women and the amount of work they accomplished every day- without conveniences and with much peril. Thank you for such an enlightening course. I do look forward to many more!
Deborah Harsen April 16, 2018
Loved it. Bring on more please
Debbie August 28, 2016
I loved this course. It is easy to follow and incredibly interesting. I highly recommend this.
Jennifer Brwon March 17, 2021
I attended one of Toni Mount's history groups, and yet the course has still been very enjoyable and informative.
Christine January 23, 2017
Yes, I did enjoy it. I found the whole course interesting and informative.
Mary August 23, 2016
I consider myself well-versed in Tudor times. I learned a lot of new things I didn't know during and previous to this time period.
Kimberly Finney November 23, 2020
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 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!
Melissa Leister February 12, 2021
I love it already!
Cherri November 29, 2021
I absolutely loved it, well written and totally enjoyable!
Julie Leddy October 6, 2021
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.
