Medieval Europe

This book recreates the history of the birth and formation of civilization that laid the foundation for today's European landscape. Key figures such as Charles Martel, Pepin the Short, and Charlemagne were of great significance in establishing the core territory of Europe. Christianity played a role that cannot be ignored in building economic, cultural, and political exchange networks. This book allows readers to understand the intricate historical details of medieval Europe through archaeological discoveries, classical documents, architecture, various authentic cultural relics (treasures, murals), restored pictures and other original materials. It also puts medieval Europe into a broader perspective and discusses major historical events in this period, from the collapse of the Western Roman Empire to the consolidation of the Byzantine Empire, the end of the Sasanian Persian Empire, and the birth of Islam during this period.
