How did ancient Egyptian settlement benefit by being surrounded by desert?

What happened in Europe in AD 871?

In AD 871, a significant conflict known as the Anglo-Saxon Wars was underway in England, primarily involving the Kingdom of Wessex and Viking invaders. This year marked the beginning of a series of battles between King Æthelred of Wessex and the Viking army led by Ivar the Boneless. Notably, the Battle of Ashdown occurred in January, where the Wessex forces achieved a crucial victory against the Vikings, helping to stave off their expansion in the region. This period marked a pivotal moment in the struggle between Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and Norse incursions in Britain.


What did they do for fun in the 1500s?

Dancing, music, storytelling. Games of various kinds, some of which - chess and chequers or draughts - we still play today. Sports, especially those such as tilting at the quintain, archery, boxing and stave fighting which prepared you for warfare. Hawking and falconry. Hunting was popular for sport among the upper classes and there were strict rules about who could hunt where. Mumming shows. Eating and drinking, of course! There were lots of festivals when people got a day off. People who could read enjoyed poetry and romances - short prose stories, usually about adventures, fantastic events and creatures, jokes, and rather rude stories about sex - and hearing these works read aloud was very popular. People also spent quite a lot of time at church, and many churches were famous for their choirs - hearing a good church service would be a bit like going to a concert today.
