Origins and early growth
    The area surrounding Ipswich attracted habitation from the Stone Age on. Although there was a Roman villa near the northern boundary of what became Ipswich and a Roman road ran through the site, the origins of Ipswich are considered to lie in the seventh century. An earlier Anglo-Saxon settlement in the vicinity lay on the west bank of the River Gipping, but seems to have been no more than a few farms. The town's name, which in medieval times was Gippeswyc, probably refers to the wic on the Gipping (or possibly both heark back to the personal name of a leader of a Saxon group of settlers); another proposed derivation of the name connects it with the Saxon "gip", meaning corner of the mouth, and alluding to the point where the mouth of the fresh-water Gipping turned to enter the salt-water Orwell estuary. This associates the name with a later focus of Anglo-Saxon settlement, on an east-west ridge (now the line of Westgate/Tavern/Carr Streets ) crossing the present town centre. On the eastern side of that later settlement have been found kilns which were used for firing pottery made on a slow wheel; this distinctive type of pottery was called "Ipswich ware" and the techniques for making it were introduced from the Rhineland/Frisia ca. 625/650, either by Frisian merchants or immigrating Rhenish potters. Remains of Ipswich ware have been found along a 160-metre stretch of the southern side of Carr Street, indicating that this was quite an important early industry here. "Ipswich People", however, is the name given to Scandinavians who arrived in the 6th century, founding the kingdom of the East Angles.

Medieval towns Coal had been mined in the region since ancient times but became more widespread in the 13th and 14th centuries. Among those to profit from coal were the Bishops of Durham and merchants of Newcastle. As a sea port, Newcastle could benefit from the trade because shallow coal seams lay close to the Tyne. Ports like Hartlepool and Stockton lay outside the coalfield and Sunderland coal lay deep underground. Nevertheless, Newcastle merchants still had to contend with the development of rival Tyneside ports.

    The History of Gingerbread
    by Tarla
    Gingerbread has been baked in Europe for centuries. In some places, it was a soft, delicately spiced cake; in others, a crisp, flat cookie, and in others, warm, thick, steamy-dark squares of "bread," sometimes served with a pitcher of lemon sauce or whipped cream. It was sometimes light, sometimes dark, sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy, but it was almost always cut into shapes such as men, women, stars or animals, and colorfully decorated or stamped with a mold and dusted with white sugar to make the impression visible. The term may be imprecise because in Medieval England gingerbread meant simply "preserved ginger" and was a corruption of the Old French gingebras, derived from the Latin name of the spice, Zingebar. It was only in the fifteenth century that the term came to be applied to a kind of cake made with treacle and flavored with ginger. Ginger was also discovered to have a preservative effect when added to pastries and bread, and this probably led to the development of recipes for ginger cakes, cookies, Australian gingernuts and flavored breads.

    This course will guide students through an in-depth analysis of the main themes of European history from the fourteenth century through the mid- seventeenth century. The focus will be on the dissolution of medieval civilization, the emergence and spread of renaissance culture, and the religious reformations
    that shaped the ideology of the period. In addition to studying the effects of these transformations on social life, politics, science, and art, we will address some underlying theoretical questions about the relationship of the Renaissance and the Protestant and Catholic Reformations to various features of modernity, including the rise of capitalism and the state, secularization, and the disenchantment of the
    world.

    Late Medieval History
    William the Conqueror Bates, David Buy this book from History Bookshop William the Conqueror was a formidable personality, whose political imagination and ruthless will were the driving force of the Norman Conquest of England. In this biography, David Bates describes the full scope of William’s achievements in both Normandy and England, setting them firmly in the context of Europe in an age of change and turmoil. William showed himself to be an outstanding soldier and an extremely effective ruler, who combined great fortitude with an unbending insistence on his own authority. He was also cruel, greedy and intolerant - a man who pitilessly stamped out opposition and shamelessly manipulated facts to justify dubious enterprises. Bosworth 1485, Psychology of a Battle Jones, Michael K. Buy this book from History Bookshop 1485. The battle of Bosworth marked an epoch in the lives of two great houses: the house of York fell to the ground when Richard III died on the field of battle; and the house of Tudor rose from the massacre to reign for the next hundred years. Michael Jones rewrites this landmark event in English history with startling evidence to suggest that the site of the battle recognized for over 500 years is wrong. He not only shifts the location of the battle, but shifts our perspective of its heroes and villains and its place in history.
