Ancient Academy: A Plague Upon Thee!

Come one, come all. The Late Middle Ages were a time of crises – plague, famine and war! The rise and fall of legends were chronicled by many authors. Daily life for the peasantry was a struggle for most, while Lords and Ladies, Kings and Queens all played a dangerous game in the conquest of power. We will examine the extreme wealth divide – differences between royalty and the serfs in their homes, daily chores, food, clothes, and life expectancy. Explore the art of stained glass and brass rubbings. We’ll improve upon the castles and siege machines built during the previous session as the battle for power on the continent rages on. Launch your own claim to power in a game of political intrigue at court, where your wits are the only thing keeping your claim within reach. Finally, take your leave of Summer Academies as the legend you’ve become by celebrating with a grand medieval feast.
