Average age (or "dark time") was a turning point in European history.The term got its name due to the fact that this period was intermediate between antiquity and the Renaissance.
Middle Age began after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.The tribes of Goths and Huns razed the ancient city and installed a new government.Initially barbaric operation resembled tribal community, led by a council of elders.But very soon the reins passed to individual leaders outperform their counterparts in either the strength or cunning.
Europe in the Middle Ages became the cradle of the most modern countries.They were formed on the territorial principle and recalls the ancient city-state.The exception was the political system.The leader of a certain area line up the castle, which is located near the central town area.Ruler provide protection and safety of residents.
Not everyone can afford to live in the city, so much more likely to build villages.Villagers have also sought safety and paid for this tax in favor of his Lord.
Becoming so-called feudal system was marked by early middle age.And then begins the bloody history of conquest.Some Lords excelled as a weapon and the number of the army.This allowed them to take control of the weaker opponents.The most successful become the kings, and the rest - vassals.
state formation could not do without a powerful idea, which was to unite the disparate tribes.In the 12-13 th centuries, the monarchs begin to actively contribute to the strengthening of the position of the Christian church.Less than a hundred years, Catholicism was the only religion in medieval Europe.His stronghold to this day remains the Vatican.But if now the Pope - is a public person, declaring peace and harmony, that 600 years ago the then preachers holy word popularized the idea of the Crusades (which were 3) of the Holy Sepulchre.
considered the most successful achievement of the English King Richard the Lionheart, who conquered Jerusalem.But the greed of the crusaders led to the fact that the true value of their erased from the code of honor.This affected not only in relation to the debt, but also on morale.That, in turn, allowed the great leader of the Arabs (Saladin) to the nines to defeat the French and English knights housing.Repulsed city winners wash it with clean water and strewn with rose petals.
average age was significant not only gains but also the achievements of science.The church did not contribute to the general education of the population, but nevertheless there were scientists who are actively working on the development of their ideas.Among them, Galileo Galilei, who said that the earth is round, because of what was burned the Holy Inquisition, and, of course, the famous Leonardo da Vinci, whose inventions are relevant even today.
interesting history of the Middle Ages and can learn a lot.Romance would be useful to young people with its degraded notions of honor, dignity, love and friendship.Errors rulers considered in modern model of the state, would help to correct the economic situation for the better, and the unselfishness of the then scientists should learn today Aesculapius.
