Unit 14: The Life and Culture of the Middle Ages
[dropcap type=”box”]B[/dropcap]efore we consider what the influences were which brought the Middle Ages to a close, we must see more clearly what the life of that period was like. We will first read about the life of the castle, where lordly knights and gentle ladies dwelt. Then we will see what was the manner of life of the peasants who dwelt in the villages, and the merchants and craftsmen who dwelt in the cities and towns. Finally we will visit the monasteries, and see what was the life of the monks and nuns, who gave their lives to the service and praise of God.

Unit Description
The Middle Ages are often seen as a depressing era. There was sickness, famine, and war all throughout the Middle Ages; however, with the exception of the “Dark Ages” that comprised the period of the Germanic invasions, the Middle Ages did have intellectual and artistic progress. It is in the Middle Ages that we begin to see the structures that shape our modern world beginning to form.
