Early medieval Christianity

Early medieval Christianity, spanning roughly from the 5th to the 11th century, was a period of significant religious development after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It saw the establishment of major church institutions, the spread of Christian beliefs across Europe, and the integration of Christianity with local customs. Key figures like monks and missionaries worked to unify diverse peoples under a common faith. This era also involved the formation of church doctrines, the construction of cathedrals, and the influence of the church on political and cultural life, shaping the foundation for medieval Europe’s religious and societal structure.
