    The people that used the artefact were soldiers in the army
    during the Crusades. The shield was used by the European
    Christian army to defend and fight against the Muslims. The
    shield I made depicts a lion which represented a threat to
    those who were fighting against the shield user. The European
    Christian army fought against the Muslims, needing to use
    shields to fight against them to deflect and block attacks. The
    shields were made of wood, which made them versatile and
    light to use. There was lots of war and famine during the
    middle ages, a lot of it coming from poverty. They had a lot of
    fights and arguments that lead to wars breaking out. The
    shield represents the middle class of the knights that used it.
    Peasants were the lowest social group in the Middle Ages. The
    knights were fighting for there life to protect there family,
    friends and home land, listening to their kings
    commandments, whilst being middle class. The second
    highest class was the lord, who is considered upper class. The
    lord was one of the richest in the Middle Ages, who owned a
    lot of land and had a lot of food. Then the highest class the
    king. The king was the one that ruled the land and
    commanded their armies on what to do. The shield was used
    mostly in 1000-1200 CE during the time of the Crusades. The
    Crusades was a time that required many weapons and armour
    as the huge religious war was taking part. The shield was
    mostly used in the battlefield to protect the person with their
    off hand, whilst they used a sword or other weapon in their
    main hand. Outside of battle the shield had little to no
    purpose. It was significant as it represented one of the largest
    religious wars to ever exist, the Crusades. The shields were
    important to them because the shield represented something
    their country and family who used those shields for war and
    protecting their land. It was important as it allowed for the
    user to protect themselves and come home safe to their
    families. The shield is a world renowned tool that all armies
    and fighters for all of history have used and is recognised all
    around the world, from starting from the bronze age, into the
    middle ages and even being used in modern day by different
    people.
