Commonly called the Middle Ages, this was a time period of extreme change for Europe, beginning with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. To a continent that had seen a drastic shift in the power structure, the world seemed to be particularly harsh. Rome had been a major player across Europe for well over a millennium. Then it was gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is also a time period that still inspires art, literature, and philosophy today. There were men who lived during the Middle Ages who are still quoted and revered today, such as Saint Thomas Aquinas. They were almost always men of the cloth (religious men), but not always. People still enjoy the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, a famous writer who was also a merchant. The architecture of this time has also been used and reused for many centuries as well. The cathedrals and castles built during the Middle Ages still remain while younger structures have long since crumbled. Perhaps the most famous architecture from the time though is known as the Gothic style. The look and feel of the Gothic style have inspired many generations, including the Romantics of the 1800s and the horror\/mystery genre that is still so popular today. However, it was the birth of universities that reflects the thinking of the time. Prior to the Middle Ages, there was no higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the institutions and ideas that the men of the Renaissance would explore began during the Middle Ages. It was a time when Europe healed from the fall of one superpower and transitioned into something that more closely resembled the map of Europe today. It would undergo many more changes in the years following the Middle Ages, but nations began to find their identities without their Roman overlords.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn The Middle Ages: A Captivating Guide to the History of Europe, Starting from the Fall of the Western Roman Empire Through the Black Death to the Beginning of the Renaissance\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFall of the Western Roman Empire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStewards of the Future\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Rise of the Byzantine Empire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReclaiming Spain and Expanding One of the Strongest and Earliest Kingdoms of the Middle Ages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCharlemagne\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Brief Return to the Empire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOtto I and His New Empire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Great Schism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Famous (or Infamous) Crusades \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForging a New England\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Hundred Years' War\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Horrors of Nature\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigher Education and The Gothic Period\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow the Middle Ages Advanced Education and Architecture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Renaissance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 11, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457140900093,"sku":"9781950922000","price":24.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/WTg2ZUk4UzZTeHZjbGh0R0poVEZEQT09.webp?v=1777234417","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-middle-ages-a-captivating-guide-to-the-history-of-europe-starting-from-the-fall-of-the-western-roman-empire-through-the-black-dea-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
