Introduction to Medieval Times

Introduction to Medieval Times

Medieval Times was a period in European history that spanned from the 5th to the 15th century. The Middle Ages, as it is also known, was a time of great change and development in Europe. During this time, the Roman Empire fell, and new kingdoms and empires emerged. This period is often associated with knights, castles, and chivalry.

The Feudal System

The feudal system was the dominant social structure during the Middle Ages. It was a hierarchical system, with the king or emperor at the top, followed by the nobles, knights, and peasants. The feudal system was based on the exchange of land for military service. The king or emperor would grant land to the nobles, who in turn would provide military support when needed. The knights, in turn, would provide military service to the nobles in exchange for land.

The Catholic Church

During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church was also a dominant force in European society. The Church had a great deal of power and influence over people's lives. It was responsible for education, healthcare, and welfare. The Church also played a major role in politics and was involved in many conflicts and wars.
