The Early Middle Ages
This collection of 59 ready-to-teach articles traces the resurgence of Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire, spanning the fifth to the tenth century. Among the ruins, loyalty became the only foundation to build on. Men swore oaths of mutual allegiance, giving rise to the feudal system. During this era, epic poems laid the groundwork for knighthood and chivalry, while monasteries preserved Western knowledge and produced outstanding art. As fortresses rose to protect the population, unexpected advances in medicine, meticulous craftsmanship, and long-distance trade challenge the myth of the "Dark Ages."
