How the concept of "Middle Ages" was created in the Renaissance and how they became unfairly seen as "Dark Ages". Were the Middle Ages really that bad compared to other periods of European history?
I used to think that too, Renaissance is something big and great when it’s just continuing late medieval era. High Middle Ages was a bigger demographic peak then the mayhem of 1500-1600s
This was wonderful - enjoy reading your posts!
Thank you, this was a very informative piece, and it clarified a lot of things for me on the perception of the "Middle Ages".
Thank you! I am going to use this for university history classes! With attribution, of course!
What a refreshing perspective - bravo!
Some parts a bit repetitive but overall a really informative read ;)
That's a hugely comprehensive article, thank you.
