From Minnesota State University, this site offers a perspective from The
Knight's Realm, The Merchant's Realm, The Nun's Realm and The Peasant's Realm.
Join us as we step back in time to the days of imposing castles high on the bluffs, knights in armor defending the kingdom, and noblemen ruling over the serfs. This was life in the Middle Ages.
Medieval music was an integral part of everyday life for the people of that time period. Music of the Middle Ages was especially popular during times of celebration and festivities.
