Medieval Britain, spanning from the 5th to the 15th century, was a period marked by diverse jewellery craftsmanship, evolving coinage systems, and the prominent role of knights. In this era, jewellery reflected the status and wealth of the wearer, with intricate designs featuring precious metals like silver, gold and gemstones, often worn by nobility and clergy as symbols of power and prestige. Coinage saw significant changes, with the introduction of silver pennies, which became the standard currency for everyday transactions. Knights played a central role in medieval society, embodying chivalry and serving as heavily armoured warriors bound by a code of honour, often in the service of feudal lords and kings, shaping the landscape of medieval Britain through their martial prowess and feudal obligations.
