Medieval Europe: Eleventh to Fifteenth Centuries

(5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Welcome to ME2003, a module that surveys European history from the eleventh to the beginning of the fifteenth century, a period that comprises the High Middle Ages (c. 1000-1300) and part of the Late Middle Ages (c. 1300-1500). Rather than providing a chronological sequence of events, the course examines key changes that helped to shape Western Europe. The module will examine major political events alongside the profound social, economic, and religious developments across this long period. While the course is self-contained and coherent on its own, it is also designed to follow neatly on from ME1003 (The Fall of Rome and the Origins of Europe, 400-1000).
