The middle Ages were characterized by different ideas of major cultures. Whether the ideals of the army of France and the army of Europe were disconnected in the 100 Years War, or between science and religion during massive amounts of death, like the plague, there was a severe distinction between the two. The two ideals in both situations could not have been more different, and cause a large difference in how the people reacted to these two events. The end of the middle ages is characterized by…

The Middle Ages also known as the ‘Dark Ages’ have been given quite a negative persona over time. It is of popular belief to assume that this period was filled with barbaric behaviours and little change. If fact the Middle Ages contains it’s own ups and downs. In the analysis of these changing aspects that are present in the High and Late Medieval life passes from A Short History of The Middle Ages by Barbara Rosenwein will be utilized, concentrating on the passages regarding towns and cities,…
