Have you always wanted to study medieval history but not had the time?
There is now a unique range of medieval and Tudor courses which can be downloaded or followed online, complete with the full text from www.medievalcourses.com – once registered students have unlimited access to study at their own pace, and can complete online quizzes at the end of each module. The courses are professionally produced in thirty minute lessons and include up to 11 hours of teaching, plus bonus materials, reading lists and links to other resources. The tutors are all established experts in their field – but how did these courses start?
In 2015 an innovative book and magazine publisher MadeGlobal Publishing got together with author Toni Mount with the idea of converting some of the history courses Toni was teaching to adults into programmes to be studied online. Toni explains “I was sharing information on social media about my adult history classes and a few people living outside the UK said they wished they could attend the courses too, so it was a wonderful synergy when Madeglobal approached me about putting my courses online.”
Toni continues “I’ve been teaching history to adults for around twenty years, concentrating on the extraordinary lives of ordinary people – with an occasional look at the Kings and Queens of the period – but I was not keen on doing the recordings myself, so Madeglobal arranged for best-selling historian Claire Ridgeway to narrate the lessons”.
Seven of the online courses have now been written by Toni Mount.
The Roles of Medieval and Tudor Women – Explore the lives of Medieval and Tudor women of all classes, looking at relationships, earning a living, caring for the family and responsibilities in the home.

Everyday Lives of Medieval Folk – Using examples of real men and women from the period, we find out just what it was like to live in and work in Medieval times.

Heroes and Villains -Are the reputations of these icons of history justly deserved or should they be viewed in a new light? Examine their lives and then decide: hero or villain?
Richard III and the Wars of the Roses – Richard III ruled as King of England for little more than two years, yet his life spanned three decades of civil war, the period of turmoil called the Wars of the Roses.
