Medieval Europe History
From the Fall of Rome to 1453, a Plain-English Story of the Middle Ages: Feudalism, Knights and Castles, Monks and Popes, the Crusades, Magna Carta and the Hundred Years' WarBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 2m
About this audiobook
Knights, castles and cathedrals, plague and crusades: everyone knows the pieces of the Middle Ages, and almost nobody can say how they fit together. How did a Europe that lost its emperor in 476 turn into a continent of universities, parliaments and busy trading towns? Were the "Dark Ages" really dark? What did a lord, a monk, a serf or a merchant actually do all day? Medieval Europe History answers those questions in one continuous, plain-English story of about a thousand years, from the last Western Roman emperor to the year the printing press and the cannon closed the age. It is a narrative survey of the whole period, not a book about one king, one war or one plague, and it does not assume that you have studied any of it before. It treats every religion and nation fairly, says plainly when historians disagree, and clears away the myths along the way. Inside, you'll discover: If you want one clear, trustworthy and enjoyable picture of the Middle Ages that you can finish in a few evenings and keep using afterwards, start here.
