The Most Beautiful Flower on Earth: a History of World Thought
About This Novel
The Middle Ages generally refers to the historical period from the 4th century to the 15th century. Beginning in the mid-4th century, the beacon fires of popular uprisings burned across Rome, impacting the rule of the slave empire. In 476 AD, the last Western Roman emperor was deposed, marking the end of the Roman Empire. This was also the end of European slave society; thus beginning the long period of feudal society. Throughout the Middle Ages, religious power and secular power engaged in a long struggle. By the 10th century, the economy and population of the West were rising again, and the Middle Ages entered a period of prosperity. Cultural creativity was also restored, and magnificent Romanesque and Gothic churches were built.
