Medieval Concept Map: Key Branches of the Middle Ages
A middle ages concept map organizes the roughly thousand years between the fall of Rome and the early 1500s into connected topics. The period is usually split into the Early Middle Ages, the High Middle Ages and the Late Middle Ages. Each stage has its own political, religious and economic features that a map can show side by side.
- Feudalism: lords, vassals, fiefs and the manorial system
- The Church: papal authority, monasteries and the crusades
- Trade and towns: guilds, merchants and the growth of cities
- Crisis: the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War and social change
Use the map to review causes and effects before an exam, or add your own class notes to expand each branch. CogniGuide can build a personalized medieval map from your material in a few minutes.
