Horrible Histories Hanbooks Knights

This book is illustrated by Martin Brown, and he illustrated Horrible histories. This book has facts about the people's habits and what they eat back in the past. The people back from the olden days are so different from nowadays, because back in the history they have two rulers ruling in different towns which are kings and queens. The kings and queens are so strict and terribly selfish that they break the community into groups and named them, and I know some of their names the Peasants, the Knights and the Kings and Queens and that's all I can remember. This book gives you great and lots of information about their rules and their jobs and how they survive in the wilderness. I have learned that the Peasants are so poor that they are being forced to work as slaves or any worst or hardest jobs ever and they don't get any respect at all. I have learned that the Knights are very hard workers because they have to wear heavy steel plated amours on their arms, feet, legs, hands, helmets and their chests. I have learned that the amour gets to hot that sometimes it burns on the skin.
