The Middle Ages (1000-1500)Credit to websites for helping me

By Emily Poh

In the middle ages most people wore loose linen or wool tunics like big baggy t-shirts. But clothing did become more complicated in the Middle Ages, and more used to distinguish men and women of different professions from each other.

What medieval people wore

Men mostly wore tunics down to their knees, though old men and monks wore their tunics down to the ground, and so did kings and noblemen for parties and ceremonies.

What did they eat?Sometimes they made their barley into bread, and sometimes into pancakes or pizza, and sometimes into barley porridge (like oatmeal) and sometimes into barley soup. But every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, most of every meal was barley. It must have been very boring!

In the Middle Ages, what people ate depended a lot on how rich they were. Poor People (which was almost everybody) ate mainly Barley(Barley's a kind of grass, like wheat, that is a good source of carbohydrates for people.).

Barley

Rich people also ate a lot of bread, but they made their bread out of wheat so it tasted better. And they had more choices of other things to eat with their bread. Rich people ate meat - pork and roast beef and stew and lamb chops and deer and rabbit. And they had spices to put on their food, expensive spices that had to come all the way from India like pepper and cinnamon.

How was the rich peopleAnd the poor people

Different?Rich people had mostly of the good tasting food from the poor people because the rich people are much much more rich(well they do name them rich people) than the poor people aka peasants.

Most peasants rented land from a richer man or woman who owned a big estate. They owed their landlord or landlady rent, and also a lot of other obligations.
