1 Melton Mowbray Pork Pies Leicester Melton
The town of Melton Mowbray, near Mowbray
Leicester, produces pork pies with
traditional methods and ingredients
from 200 years ago. A pie is a type of
savoury cake, with pastry around it.
Melton Mowbray pies
are different from other pork pies, because they
are rounder and they only use fresh local pork.
Delicious!
2 Arbroath Smokies
20 Arbroath Smokies are a type of smoked fish from
the North Atlantic. Smokies originally come from
a small fishing village near Arbroath in Scotland.
There is a local legend about the accidental
discovery of this delicious smoked fish after a
25 fire. We dont know if the legend is true, but
today they prepare the fish in a similar way. They
then smoke it over a wood fire in a whisky barrel.
3 Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb
Rhubarb is a long, red vegetable with green
30 leaves which is used to make rhubarb crumble, a
popular British dessert. Only 12 producers grow
this forced rhubarb, in the rhubarb triangle,
between the cities of Leeds, Bradford and
Wakefield. Today, as more than 100 years ago,
35 they grow the rhubarb in the dark. This forces
the plant to grow, because it looks for light.
When the plants are ready, the farmers cut and
gather them using light from candles.

Cool Britannia
By 43 ad, the Roman Empire already included most of
Europe and North Africa, as well as parts of Russia and
Turkey. That year, the Romans invaded an island and
called it Britannia. They occupied it for 400 years and
5 today we still call it Britain.
The Romans didnt invade Britain for money (it wasnt
rich) or security (it wasnt strategic), but for honour.
The Emperor Claudius wanted to show his military
ability. During the early years of the occupation, many
10 of the native Celtic tribes rebelled. Queen Boudicca
led the most famous rebellion in 6061 ad. Boudicca
was a friend to the Romans, but when they wanted
to take her land, she refused, and so the Romans
punished her. Boudicca and her Iceni tribe fought
15 back, but the Romans were more powerful, and
defeated her.
The Romans brought their unity, organisation and
culture to the people of Britannia including taxes.
Hundreds of words we use in modern English come
20 from Latin, for example: urban, legal, and information.
The Romans also influenced Britains geography and architecture. They
built incredible villas, public baths and amphitheatres. They built towns
and cities, including the capital Londinium (London) and Mamucium
(Manchester), and they built 9,600 kilometres of roads to connect them.
25 York was a very important town in Roman times, called Eboracum. Today,
the people of York have a Roman festival every year to celebrate their
Roman history.
However, the Romans didnt conquer Scotland, so they built Hadrians
Wall from coast to coast to protect Britannia from the Scottish tribes.
30 Today it still marks the border between England and Scotland.

Background to the story
The Canterbury Tales is about a group of pilgrims1 who are
travelling to Canterbury, to visit the shrine2 of Saint Thomas B
Becket. The pilgrims are a mixed group: some are rich and some
are poor. They also have very different jobs and experiences.
Each one tells a story to make the journey more interesting.
This is the story told by a woman from Bath. It takes place in the
A
kingdom of King Arthur, the legendary king of England.
Extract 1
King Arthurs time, the king and his knights3
I
lived in the castle of Camelot. One of Arthurs
knights Tarquin loved Lucretia, a beautiful
5
n young woman with long black hair. But she didnt
love him. One day she sat under a tree by the river,
when suddenly Tarquin rode his horse out of the
forest and took her in his arms.
Help! cried Lucretia, but Tarquin carried her away quickly on his
horse to an old house on a hill far from Camelot. There he put her in a C
10 dark room and closed the door behind her.
At once, King Arthur called his knights to him. Find Tarquin and
Lucretia, he said, and bring them to me.
They soon brought Tarquin and Lucretia to the king. He was angry with Tarquin.
When a knight from Camelot treats a woman badly, he must die,
15 said Arthur.
But Queen Guinevere felt sorry for Tarquin. So she asked her husband,
Can I give a different punishment to him? D
Of course, said the king.
Then she said to Tarquin, Tell me the answer to this important question: what do
20 women want most of all?
Tarquin didnt know. So he said nothing.
Then the queen said, Tarquin, you can leave Camelot now, but you must come
back in a year with a good answer to my question, or you die.

We want money.

In one town, they told Tarquin, We want to hear
nice things from our lovers.
Days became weeks, and weeks became months. Soon
35 it was time for Tarquin to go back to Camelot. He felt bad because he
didnt have a good answer to Guineveres question.
On the road to Camelot, Tarquin rode his horse through a forest. It was
dark and not easy to see there. After some time, he got off his horse and Glossary
