Hannah Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'd like to add a few DVD's to our Middle Ages studies. What do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Blue House Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'm interested in this as well! I don't have a rec for a DVD, but just came across this yesterday. It's hilarious and we all had a good laugh... There a lot of viking/middle ages HH clips on Youtube so search around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeintx Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Going Medieval is really educational. Amazon Streaming has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 You might find some good ideas here: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/showthread.php?t=127872 (t's tied to SOTW, so just check out year 2.)

Nestof3 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Considering I don't know what the libraries are like where you are, I'm not sure I should recommend this. We really enjoyed this series, but I would never spend this much money on it. Our library has it. Life in the Middle Ages DVD Series http://www.libraryvideo.com/product.asp?i_ACTIVE_ITM=1&i_FROM_GRADE=1&i_TO_GRADE=20&f_NAME=&key=LVC&Exact=N&Words=A&mod=Search&ssf=RANK+DESC&qs=middle+ages&mscssid=0BFQ3QLVN0558HFDVG47Q8RQ5HVQAMF1&sku=V6228&wherefrom=search Plus, we really like this Joan of Arc DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Joan-Arc-Leelee-Sobieski/dp/B00000JS6F/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348410946&sr=8-1&keywords=joan+of+arc+dvd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Considering I don't know what the libraries are like where you are, I'm not sure I should recommend this. Compared to USA libraries, they're abysmal! Our library does not carry anything electronic (no audio, no DVD's) and only went onto a computerized catalogue and lending system earlier this year. But its not only me reading this and I"m sure others will appreciate the recommendation. I've added the Joan of Arc onto our wishlist.

Hannah Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 For your 12 yo, you might consider Crusade in Jeans Thanks Loesje! I've added it to the list. Are there other Dutch/Flemish DVD's that are particularly good? Wij kunnen Nederlands volgen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalphs Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Another idea is Beth Holland's "Learning with the Movies." The resource is available at www.rainbowresource.com for previewing.
