![]() ![]() ![]() The Late Middle Ages took place between the 14th century and the early 15th century. The Late Middle Ages marked the end of the Middle Ages and ushered in the modern era in Europe. The Renaissance of the 12th century took place during the High Middle Ages, when significant social, economic, and political transformations took place. The Islam-Christian conflict escalated in the High Middle Ages, with the Christian kingdoms engaging in military campaigns in the “Holy Land” known as the Crusades, whose intention was to drive Islamic Caliphates from Palestine. The High Middle Ages saw the spread of Christianity all over the continent, from Britain to Scandinavia, as well as the split of the Catholic Church in 1054 into the Western Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The High Middle Ages were characterized by an increased rural-urban migration, which led to the growth of cities all over Europe. The period saw the growth of the Byzantine Empire with its capital, Constantinople, continuing its reign as Europe’s largest city. The High Middle Ages was the period in Europe’s history which succeeded the Early Middle Ages and began in the 11th century and ended in the 13th century. The Early Middle Ages are sometimes referred to as the Dark Ages, as illiteracy was widespread, and hence there were few written records from the era. The period also saw the rise of the Vikings, who conducted widespread raiding expeditions all over Europe. These Caliphates were engaged in sporadic wars with the Byzantine Empire, which included an unsuccessful siege of Constantinople in 717 CE. Another notable event in the Early Middle Ages was the rise of Islam and the establishment of Caliphates in the Middle East during the 7th century. The Early Middle Ages saw the rise of the Byzantine Empire in the 4th century CE, which was marked by the ascension of Emperor Constantine I in 330 CE, which established the city of Constantinople as the seat of power. The population in the Roman Empire declined dramatically in the 4th century CE, partially due to famines, as well as constant invasions from neighboring tribes. The Early Middle Ages were preceded by the decline of the Western Roman Empire and the collapse of Rome between the 2nd and 4th century CE. Historians believe that the Early Middle Ages began in the 6th century CE and ended in the 10th century CE. The Middle Ages was the era marked by the start of the Early Middle Ages and ended with the end of the Late Middle Ages. ![]()
