This subject focuses on the development of Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century and the dawn of the Renaissance in the fifteenth century. It deals with the development of Christianity, the violent and bitter struggles between the Church and secular rulers, the evolution of social institutions, the world of crusaders, dissenters, the prominence of visual culture, medieval mentalities, law, popular culture and beliefs, along with the relations between ordinary people and power. All of this provides the immediate context for emerging modernity.
