MUSICArt and music were critical aspects of medieval religious life and, towards the end of the Middle

Ages, secular life as well. Singing without instrumental accompaniment was an essential

part of church services. Monks and priests chanted the divine offices and the mass daily.

Games

Medieval Christmas games included "King of the Bean," where a small bean would be baked inside bread or cake, and the one who found it in their portion would be crowned king of the holiday feast.

Games

Tafl (pronounced TAH-bl) dates back to before 400 AD, and was played throughout Scandinavia, Iceland, Germany, England, Wales and Ireland. It remained popular until the 17th. century, when it was gradually supplanted by chess. The word tafl is probably derived from the Latin tabula, which also referred to a board game. The game was also sometimes called hnefatafl, meaning 'king's table'.
