Home Learning Hub: Crime and punishment
This YouTube video from the Royal Armouries' Home Learning Hub explores historical crimes and punishments from the 1500s to the 1700s. It highlights severe penalties like branding and dismemberment, contrasting them with modern-day punishments. The video also touches upon unusual historical offenses such as gossiping, religious dissent, reading banned books, and specific clothing choices. It encourages viewers to explore artifacts in the Royal Armouries' collection related to these punishments and directs them to a downloadable 'Crime & Punishment Learners Pack' on their Home Learning Hub. The content is designed for KS2 History and KS2 Literature, and supports teachers and parents with homeschooling resources.
