Summary |
"The Middle Ages aren't just an uninteresting period of history trapped between ancient times and the Renaissance, as the name suggests. It's 1,000 years of fascinating historical events, including the Crusades, the Black Death, and the longest war that has ever been fought. This comprehensible book takes young historians on the journey from the beginning of medieval times--with the fall of the Roman Empire--to the end, often believed to be the invention of Gutenberg's printing press. Maps, historical artwork, and a timeline help readers understand the essential moments of the Middle Ages."--Provided by publisher. |
