HIST 100: Part 4 The Middle Ages Dr. Maureen Miller http://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/westernciv/video/miller1.html Introduction The period we are going to study this week is called the Middle Ages. By this term‚ historians generally mean to denote the history of Western Europe from the end of the Roman Empire in the west until the Italian Renaissance: roughly‚ 400-1400 AD.

The beginning of feudalism started with the death of Charlemagne. He established a government with a mixture of his native Germanic culture and the roman empire. The main part of feudalism was when a king would divide his land to his vassals

‘’To have another language is to possess a second soul.’’ said Charlemagne‚ which may sound like a cliché but is actually very accurate. I believe that learning a language expands our life views and provides us some significant opportunities. Firstly‚ I strongly believe that the language we learn directly affects our way of thinking as we start to think in that particular language.

Feudalism began between the 8th and 9th centuries. It was first recognized in France‚ and later spread to most countries of western Europe. When Charlemagne died there was no strong ruler to take his place. That was when feudalism was established as the main system of government and way of life in Medieval Europe.
