Hey all!

I'm doing French Revolution and the Rule of Napoleon 1774-1815.

For anybody who's interested and needs something to help with the knowledge and dates in their revision, I've created this course on a site called Memrise, which I find pretty useful for history dates (as well as languages). It's up to you whether you want to use it or not, but I hope you find it useful!

Hey, I'm doing the Crusades! Have you got any advice for how to understand the Crusader States bit of the spec. The actual crusades themselves are quite easy to learn the stories for but I find the story for the states is a bit all over the place. Any documentarys or anything like that to recommend? Massive thanks!

Since the AS was separate to the A Level, and I did the latter, I don't know I'm afraid. Food luck in your exam tomorrow.:smile:
