The Middle Ages—one of the most controversial and significant eras in history, spanning from the 5th to the 15th century. This period saw dark events: barbarian invasions, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the plague... Yet, at the same time, it marked the formation of European states and culture: new cities emerged, the first universities were established, the first printing presses appeared—making books accessible to the public—and theaters, carnivals, and masquerades became popular. Some call this the most turbulent of times, others the darkest, while still others insist it was... just an ordinary age.
This book will help the reader broaden their understanding of the Middle Ages and recreate a picture of life and the major events of that time.
