The people of the middle ages started to think for themselves. They started to make their own tools and plant their own food. They started needing man-made objects to help with things they could not do with their own hands. Technology become the answer to their problems.
Inventions of the Middle Ages
The Plow
The plow wasn't necessarily invented by the people of the Middle Ages but it was reformed to be a better tool. It was used with multiple oxen teams. They became more efficient by using these teams and they saved time. They could plow heavier and wetter soil due to the renovations. Even though inventing the plow made farming easier, it was still a tough job. more about the plow
The people of the Middle Ages started using catapults so they could get further and higher distances to get rocks or stones over castle walls. Catapults could throw stones weighing up to 200 pounds with a range of about 300 yards. They were mainly used during a war. more about catapults
Most Medieval technology was created to better the lives of the people in the Middle Ages. The plow and the catapult were both very important technological inventions. Technology grows more and more every day even in this day and age.
