Test Your Knowledge of the Middle Ages

One of the best resources online about the Middle Ages for its sheer variety is About.com with its constantly changing offerings on an unbelievable breadth of information. Having Scorpio in my ascendant I love quizzes, and these are not the least of About.com's treasures.

Their General Knowledge Quiz on Medieval History is one such. It changes every time you refresh the page, so you can take the quiz over and over. You can also choose the length of the quiz, so no fear of that trapped feeling one gets when one suddenly realizes you didn't really want to commit that much time!

Taking a look at the quiz now I am finding such topics addressed as castle architecture, religious symbolism, rulers, literary greats, heraldry, and knightly orders. I got six out of ten correct, earning this assessment, "Not bad -- but not great. You may want to learn more about the Middle Ages." Indeed I shall.

Have fun.. and let us know how you do.. if you dare.
