Kings weren’t able to defend their territories efficiently, hence, people no longer looked up to central power for protection. In the response to increasing mounted knights and disintegration of centralization
The history of the modern world stems from the middle Ages. The middle ages were actually a bridge connecting the classical and modern world. The middle Ages might not have been magnificent, but rather the period of itself was a prime establishment of the modern world's newly discovered dependability, a restoration of the law and teachings from the classical era, a reinvestment and change in the church, and an antecedent to the golden age.

The Middle Ages were regarded as a dark and desolate time period in history. Society during this time had no social progress, incessant wars, extreme violence, and no improvement to intellect or education. The Renaissance marked the end of the Middle Ages lasting roughly from the early 1400s to the 17th century.

Today, so many people depict the medieval church as being led by materialistic popes, devouring tithes from poverty-stricken peasants, having various illegitimate children, and granting indulgences for money from wayward believers. Yes, circumstances like this may have been
The Dark Ages, the period between 476 and 1350 A.D., is often defined by the simplistic misconceptions of the modern period, which holds this era to be devoid of cultural, intellectual, and spiritual advancements, but rather, the retrocessions of such. In essence, these notions could not be further from the truths that are misguided by the derogatory implications of the words ‘dark’ and ‘medieval’.

By the end of the time period, society
