The “Middle Ages” educational history poster series feature events and concepts of European history: the Black Death; the Church; Crafts and Guilds; the Crusades; Feudalism; Knights; Literature, Arts and Architecture.
The Middle Ages, also referred to as the Medieval period, describe an approximately 1000 year (+or-) time span in Europe, marked as dissolution of the Roman Empire's centralized power to decentralized feudal system. The term “Dark Ages”, a term coined by early Renaissance historians, is no longer an apt description of the period as research continues to reveal a complex paradigm characterized by a cultural “introversion” as opposed to a “extroverted” expansion.
The Middle Ages begin as a period of mass migration known as the Barbarian Invasions and the new order of Western and Eastern Roman Empires, c. 400-476 AD, and ends in the period of the Protestant Reformation, c. 1453-1517 AD.

The chantefable (combination of prose and verse) of the lovers “Aucassin Et Nicolette” is an entertaining romance sung by troubadours.
Troubadours were composers and performers of lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages, 1100-1350.
Nicolette can be seen as a “proto-feminist” - she actively searched for her beloved Aucassin while he only bemoans not being able to find her.

A monk is a person who leads a “monastic life” in a “monastery” with like-minded people, apart from those not sharing the same purpose. In the Middle Ages the monasteries were centers of learning.
