We Live in Medieval Europe

The Middle Ages — the most controversial millennium in human history! It is a world of knights and beautiful ladies, kings and their loyal vassals, wandering poets and impoverished monks, grand castles and Gothic cathedrals. And at the same time,... it is a dark and grim period when the fires of the Inquisition burned in Europe, epidemics and famine raged, and ignorance and cruelty reigned everywhere. So let us embark on a journey: we will visit monastery estates and a knight's castle, a bustling town square and the walls of a university, sit at the dining table with a lord and a peasant, watch craftsmen at work and see where merchants hurry, join the ranks of pilgrims and crusaders. We will see how the map of Europe changed, how states were formed and collapsed, how one dynasty was succeeded by another. We will learn what the medieval person was like: what he feared and what he believed in. In this journey, you will be lucky to see the Middle Ages in all their splendor!
