This unit follows unit 2 'Medieval monarchs', unit 3 'Medieval people', unit 4 'Medieval church', and unit 5 'Elizabeth I'. This unit provides an alternative overview of the period from the perspective of a contemporary, but different, culture. It provides contrasts and connections with aspects of British history - specifically with the Crusades and with Henry VIII.
It must be emphasised that this approach to Islam is primarily from an historical point of view and not a religious one. This unit links with unit 7B 'What's in a building?' in the art and design scheme of work.
