Emma of Normandy: video questions, differentiated.

Engaging, thorough, 16-minute documentary really drills down into the events. Historical background, Viking raids, Æthelred’s tributes, Emma’s birth, brought to England, marriage, her children – their status as heirs, marriage to Cnut, Harthanut. Emma is de facto ruler of Wessex, Harold’s death, Harthacnut’s co-kingship and death, Edward is king. The Encomium vs Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Her legacy. The link between England and Normandy. Legends of Emma, the Ordeal, and finally, William I.

18 questions for the 16-min film Differentiated! Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. Questions right up to the end, no slack time! Excellent subtitles, scripted, not auto-generated. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark. .doc & .pdf for all files.

There are links on the sheet to two different copies of the video, which can also be found YouTube by searching for “The Most Important Norman Ever (Emma of Normandy)”
