Angevin Empire (AQA History Migration GCSE)

This lesson is part of the AQA History GCSE ‘Migration, Empires and the People’ module, specifically section 1: Conquered and Conquerors.

This is the third lesson of the course. Begins by looking at the link between France and the kings of England following 1066, before introducing the Angevin Empire. But why ‘Angevin?’ - follow up task introduces the Norman, Angevin and Plantagenet family trees, and what the link is between them. ‘Annotated’ family tree provided to walk through it. Section in the text book should also be read, and then a short task to check understanding.

Main task is to annotate a provided map with how the Angevin Empire was formed (important to stress that next lesson will look at the LOSS of the Empire - hence why John is included).

8 mark comparrison question between the North Sea and Angevin empires included, complete with mark scheme.

Also includes a homework task to prepare for the next lesson on the Hundred Years War
