Medieval Europe
HIST 201 FA

This introductory lecture course is the first of three that cover the history of Europe from the middle ages to the contemporary period. This course is a history of European politics, culture, and institutions from roughly 1000 through 1520. Within a chronological framework we shall focus on the creation of nations and government, the growth and crises of papal-dominated Christianity--its crusades and its philosophy--the rise and role of the knight and chivalry, the crises of the later middle ages, including the Black Death, heresy, and mysticism that contributed to the beginnings of the renaissance and the Reformation, events that ended the medieval period.
