Sign in to saveAlso known as medieval period, medieval Europe
period of European history from the 5th to the late 15th-century
The Middle Ages was a period of European history spanning from the 5th century to the late 15th century, a time that witnessed significant changes in politics, culture, and society following the fall of the Roman Empire. This era matters because it shaped the foundations of modern Europe, including the development of feudalism, the spread of Christianity, and the eventual emergence of nation-states.
