Medieval History Lesson in Przemyśl Museum

Pupils of Class 5b with our History teacher Ms Oleszek went to our Museum. They learned about the Middle Ages in our area. They saw some exhibits connected with our early history.

SHORT HISTORY OF PRZEMYŚL IN MEDIEVAL TIMES Przemyśl is the second-oldest city in southern Poland (after Kraków). appears to date from as early as the 8th century. The town became a site of contention between Poland, Kievan Rus and Hungary beginning in at least the 9th century. The area was mentioned for the first time in 981 by Nestor, when Vladimir I of Kievan Rus took it over on the way into Poland. In 1018 Przemyśl returned to Poland, and in 1031 it was retaken by Rus. Between the 11th and 12th century the city was a capital of the Principality of Peremyshl, one of the principalities that made up the Kievan Rus' state. Sometime before 1218 an Eastern Orthodox eparchy was founded in the city. In 1340 Przemyśl was taken by and became part of the Polish kingdom. Around this time the first Roman Catholic diocese was founded in the city, and Przemyśl was granted city rights based on Magdeburg law, confirmed in 1389 by king Władysław II Jagiełło. (wikipedia)

A SCHOOL TRIP TO MEDIEVAL CASTLE

The castle is in ruins because it suffered from many wars.Still the pupils of 4a and 5a Forms enjoyed their visit. They could learn about the history and legends of the castle and try medieval clothes and weapon. They learned about medieval kights customs.
