AI - summary of the story
The medieval period, also called the Middle Ages or the Middle Ages, is one of the four periods in human history. It is between the Ancient Age, which ended with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. C., and the Modern Age, which began with the discovery of America in 1492. Traditionally, the medieval era was considered a time of ignorance, superstition and social oppression, unlike the Ancient and the Modern Ages, which were valued for their developments in the arts and sciences.
However, historical studies nuanced this vision and demonstrated the importance of the period in political, economic, social and cultural aspects. The medieval period is also a period that refers especially to the past of European societies. It encompasses different types of social and political organization, but it is commonly related to the development of feudalism, the preeminence of knights as feudal lords, the imposition of Christian dogma throughout society and the subjection of peasants to land. During medieval times, the Muslim religion appeared and spread through Muslim caliphates and, in contrast, Christianity became a symbol of the unity and identity of the different European societies.
