§ This text was about what witchcraft and superstitions in medieval times were like. The way the text was written shows it was written for secondary students - younger adults. The text was recently accessed, so that shows it might have been updated to create more reliable information. I quite enjoyed this text because it gave information with a clear voice that was easy to understand.

§ This text gave many different superstitions and explained their origin. Although it wasn’t so recently updated, it gave good explanation. I think this website was reliable, because other websites showed the same information, so it was backed up. The age level was grade 3-5, but was still useful.
Wife to the Conqueror: Matilda of Flanders, Queen of England 2011, Daily News, accessed 22 March 2015, <http://arrayedingold.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/wife-of-conqueror-matilda-of-flanders.html>.
§ This website was for teens-young adults. This text is relevant because it shows the life of Matilda of Flanders clearly, and explains her character. However, I thought might be a little less reliable, because the author only used a first name with no detail about publishing – this may just be a privacy issue though. I found this text helpful because I learnt what she was like – her intelligence and stubborn personality.
