Invention Guides

Can anyone help me with homework about the Middle Ages?

In World History, I have to make a "scrapbook" page about the Middle Ages. Here's what I need about it: - 5 major historical figures with brief description of their contribution to the era - 5 major inventions or scientific advances of the era - 5 major artists or musicians of the era, plus listing some of their works. - Timeline of the era, including some important events. You can do one of them... Just tell me which one you're doing. Or you can can do all. Thanks!

1. I am NOT doing your report for you.
2. 5 major inventions 1. stirrups 2. horse collar 3. plow (yes, they had plows before,but there was a new type during the middle ages. moldshare plow? research it on google) 4. fireplaces 5. eyeglasses
3. You may read for yourself below.
4. You're going to have a rough time with the art one, Medieval artists' were craftsmen, and most of what they did was for the glory of God, not themselves. I can give you some good historical figures to look up, you can do the rest on your own. 1) Charlemagne - BIG DEAL 2) Eleanor of Aquitaine 3) Richard the Lion-Hearted 4) Alfred the Great 5) and, for multiculturalism's sake, Saladin
5. OK I am not going to do it for you but am more than willing to give you a giant shove in the right direction. Go to his website... http://www.themiddleages.net/ Then Google the term Middle Ages and you will have more information than you will ever need it should not take over 15 to 30 minutes to find everything and then some. Henry II of England Elinor of Aquitaine King John of England Who ever the king of France was I forgot The Magnacarta (spelling ?) Geofery Chauser Charlemagne.... That's it really PLEASE go at least check out this website. Best of Luck to you. =)
6. And which part of your assignment are you going to complete?
