Middle Ages Concept Map: Structure and Key Themes
The Middle Ages, roughly 500 to 1500 CE, is usually studied through a few connected parts. Feudalism organized land and loyalty between lords, vassals and peasants. The Catholic Church shaped education, law and culture. Manorial farming, the Crusades and the growth of towns and trade then changed medieval society over time.
- Feudalism: lords, vassals, fiefs and serfs
- The Church: religious authority, monasteries and universities
- Manorial life: farming, the three-field system and village work
- Crusades: causes, key campaigns and long-term effects
- Towns and trade: guilds, markets and the rise of a merchant class
