Medieval Times refers to the period in European history from the 5th to the late 15th century, often called the Middle Ages. This era followed the fall of the Roman Empire and is characterized by feudalism, where society was structured around land ownership and the relationships between lords, vassals, and serfs. Key events include the Crusades, the rise of chivalry, and the establishment of medieval kingdoms. During this time, significant cultural and technological developments occurred, including the construction of castles and the growth of towns. The Catholic Church played a central role in daily life, influencing education, politics, and art. The period ended with the Renaissance, which brought renewed interest in classical knowledge and culture.
