The Middle Ages is a term coined around 1450 to describe a thousand
years of European History. In this Very Short Introduction, Miri
Rubin provides an exploration of the variety, change, dynamism, and
sheer complexity that the period covers. From the provinces of the
Roman Empire, which became Barbarian kingdoms after c.450-650, to
the northern and eastern regions that became increasingly
integrated into Europe, Rubin explores the emergence of a truly
global system of communication, conquest, and trade by the end of
the era. Presenting an insight into the challenges of life in
Europe between 500-1500 - at all levels of society - Rubin looks at
kingship and family, agriculture and trade, groups and individuals.
Conveying the variety of European experiences, while providing a
sense of the communication, cooperation, and shared values of the
pervasive Christian culture, Rubin looks at the legacies they left
behind. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from
