Description

The Middle Ages, also called the Medieval Period, took place in Europe from about the end of the 5th century to the end of the 15th century. The early Middle Ages were marked by a drop in population, the fall of organized power, wars, and large-scale movements. As Christianity and other new religions spread across Europe, people started new churches. During this time, manorialism and feudalism ruled European society. Manorialism meant that peasants lived in villages that owed rent and labor services to nobles. Feudalism was a political system in which knights and lower-status nobles fought for their lords in exchange for the right to collect rent from lands and manors.

Lessons are focused on the course framework and have students analyze excerpts from a wide range of primary and secondary source documents. Then, the students answer the different supporting questions that help them answer the framing question.
