These are the notes I took for an EPQ I took on Benjamin Disraeli.

Use this excellent AS/A level revision resource to revise and extend knowledge on Richard II and Henry IV. Information has been taken from my class notes and revision textbooks from multiple exam boards. Perfect for use with Edexcel specification, but can be equally useful for AQA and OCR AS/A levels.

A detailed quiz/table/revision resource covering reasons for the Crusades. Written with Edexcel AS and A level History (2015) specification in mind, but can be just as useful for other exam boards; it has been written using textbooks from multiple exam boards and Thomas Asbridge’s ‘the Crusades’. Perfect for personal revision or classwork for students. Update: having used this quiz, I gained an A* in Edexcel A-Level Early History.

Edexcel A-Level History: Crusades. I took this A-Level in 2019, and the specification is the same circa 2024. These notes cover some core notes, as well as example questions on the Muslim response to the Crusader states, alongside for/against. Total 3000 words across 6 pages. Notes on the below questions and some further questions for revision. To what extent were the Crusader states ineffectively governed 1152-87? How accurate is it to say the religious enthusiasm of Nur and Saladin was the most important reason for increased Muslim unity in the years 1146-92? How accurate is it to say the decline of the Crusader states were primarily due to the quality of Saladin’s leadership 1169-87? How far do you agree 1100-65 the Crusade States became stable and well-governed? I achieved an A*, with full marks in the first three exams (still an A* in the fourth) and took resources from beyond the core textbooks, for instance, there’s a fair amount from Thomas Asbridge’s books in these notes and my other resources. Happy studying!

EPQ question: Benjamin Disraeli ‘had scant respect for probity and integrity in politics - his code of behaviour was truly Machiavellian’. How accurate is this judgement? I achieved full marks in this piece (54/54). Contents: Abstract Introduction Research Review Dissertation (Discussion) Conclusion Evaluation Bibliography: Books, Articles/Journals, Podcasts, Websites Presentation slides Project proposal form 25,431 words across 54 pages Please feel free to use particularly for revision on Benjamin Disraeli and Victorian politics. I wrote this when I was 17, before starting university, so the language is often a little clunky! For those studying Disraeli at university, use this as inspiration rather than a strictly accurate journal piece.
