Medieval Times

Medieval Times refers to the period in European history roughly from the 5th to the late 15th century, following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It was characterized by feudal society, where land was held by nobles who offered protection in exchange for service from peasants. This era saw the rise of castles, knightly warfare, and religious influence on daily life. Culture included castles, chivalry, and Gothic architecture, with significant events like the Crusades and the Black Death. Despite being called the "Middle Ages," it was a complex period shaping modern Europe’s social, political, and cultural foundations.
