Surveying the years between 300 and 1550, this outstanding textbook brings a long, complex and varied period of European history vividly to life.
Covering themes as diverse as barbarian migrations, the growth of cities, kingship, religious reform, the Crusades, commerce, the Black Death, and the intellectual and cultural life of the Middle Ages, it explores the driving forces behind the formation of medieval society and the directions in which it developed and changed.
