This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 5e: “The Capetians strengthen royal power”, from the unit “Society, the Church, and political power in the feudal West (11th-15th centuries).” Its questions are about Hugh Capet, elected king, the small royal domain of the first Capetians, the anointing of the king, a king who takes Normandy and wins at Bouvines, a king who became a saint, royal justice and the Parlement, the Sainte-Chapelle, a king surrounded by legists, and the first Estates General.
Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, fill in the blanks, matching and timelines. After each answer, an explanation recalls what to remember. Hints are free, and you can go back.
The game follows the French national curriculum: 5e is the second year of middle school in France, for students aged 12 to 13. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice right after the lesson or before a test.
