1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Oh, hell, the King and Queen will be arriving soon. 2 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Oh dear, the King and Queen are coming. What do 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: I say, I've never met a king or queen before. 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: Welcome to story Time by Lingo Kids, where we discover 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: fascinating facts about the world around us and the fun 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: of play learning. Today, we've traveled back to medieval times, 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: when powerful kings and queens ruled the land. Wow, it 8 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: looks like we've made it to a small village in 9 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: the Medieval time period. This time period is also known 10 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: as the Middle Ages the Middle Ages. What is that 11 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: great question, Elliott? This time period took place a long, 12 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: long time ago, right in the middle of two other 13 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: important periods in history, the fall of the Great Roman 14 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Empire and the Renaissance period. Rene it's called a rhinoceros 15 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: COWI almost, but it's called Ranaissance. It actually means rebirth 16 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: in French. It's called rebirth because many things were discovered 17 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: and invented in science and art. Let's say it together, Renaissance. 18 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: The village is busy with people walking down the streets 19 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: made of cobblestone. I see a blacksmith busy in his 20 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: workshop working with his hammer. What do they need a 21 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: hammer for Blacksmiths work with metal to create things like armor, swords, 22 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: and shields, and use a hammer to give them the 23 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: right shape. Sometimes they make them for the king himself. 24 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of the king, I don't see him anywhere. Let's 25 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: find him. Ah, you're right, Billy. The king lives in 26 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: a castle sometimes on a hill near the village. I 27 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: can see it. It's not too far away. We can 28 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: take a horse and wagon there. Can we take a 29 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: bus or a car instead? No, Cowie. Buses or cars 30 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: didn't exist in the Middle Ages. They were invented only 31 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty five years ago. Wow, and how 32 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: did people travel before? Well, before they walked. They used 33 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: horses or other animals that they could ride. That's a 34 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: lot of walking. And let's take the wagon we made it. 35 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: Look how big the castle is. Oh, before we go in, 36 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: we need to learn some very important guidelines. Ah, thanks, Billy, 37 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: just what I needed. Here. They are. It says, when 38 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: greeting the king and queen, follow these rules. One it 39 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: is polite to bow when greeting the King or queen. 40 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: Two it is also polite to call the King or 41 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: queen your majesty. Three always have manners and be respectful. Okay, 42 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: we can do this. Let's go be ah wow. Indeed, yes, 43 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: I see them too, Billy. It's the king and queen 44 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: sitting on their big thrones with shiny golden crowns and 45 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: fancy glittering robes. Let's all bow and say hello, Your 46 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Majesty's hello, your majesty, your majesty's hoo. How exciting what 47 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: you kings and queens do? Kings and queens were the 48 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: rulers during the Middle Ages. There were king and queens 49 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: all around the world. The land that they ruled over 50 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: was called their kingdom. One of their biggest responsibilities was 51 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: keeping their kingdom safe and peaceful. Are their kings and 52 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: queens today? Yes, there are not as many as in 53 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: the Middle Ages, though, and their roles have changed a 54 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: lot since then. Let's not upset their majesties and head 55 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: back home. Let's get well, let's go. It was wonderful 56 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: to meet the king and queen and get to know 57 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: about the time period they lived in, don't you think, yes, yes, 58 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: that was a great trip back in time.
