About this audiobook
A time of knights, castles, and epic battles—what was life really like in the Middle Ages? Medieval Europe (5th–15th centuries) was an era of dramatic change, shaped by feudalism, the Catholic Church, and the rise of powerful kingdoms. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe fragmented into warring states, leading to the emergence of castles, chivalry, and legendary figures like Charlemagne and Richard the Lionheart. This book takes you through the age of crusades, where Christian and Muslim forces clashed over the Holy Land, and the devastation of the Black Death, which wiped out millions. The Middle Ages saw the construction of grand Gothic cathedrals, the founding of the first universities, and the gradual shift from feudalism to early nation-states. It was a time of both brutality and brilliance, where the arts, philosophy, and trade flourished despite the constant conflicts. The Hundred Years' War, the rise of the merchant class, and the Renaissance marked the transition into the modern era. This book explores how the medieval world laid the foundations for the societies we live in today. If you’ve ever been captivated by tales of knights, queens, and medieval mysteries, this book will transport you to a time of intrigue and adventure.
