Your Worst Nightmare (a.k.a. Mr. C) The Middle Ages Your Worst Nightmare (a.k.a. Mr. C)

Introduction The Middle Ages (300 – 1475) The Dark Ages (476 – 800) or, more generally, to the period between about 500 and 1000, which was marked by frequent warfare and a virtual disappearance of urban life. It is now rarely used by historians because of the value judgment it implies. Medieval Typically an adjective, can be a noun; of or relating to the Middle Ages : of or relating to the period of European history from about A.D. 500 to about 1500 medium aevum You can use this word instead of “The Middle Ages”.

So why Medieval History? 2 reasons Learn it for its own sake. History is fun! Right? Right?  Understand our modern world more deeply Medieval origins!

Previous Medieval Tomes Edward Gibbon The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (18th Century – 1700’s) A gloomy story of degeneration and decay. Places a lot of blame on Christianity/Catholicism. Jacob Burckhardt The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy (19th Century – 1800’s) The modern state only became possible when Renaissance men turned their backs on “faith, illusion, and childish pursuits” of the MA. Problems with these two views?

Assumptions WHEN WE ASSUME… MA was grossly inferior to ancient world or modern world Modern civilisation grew directly from Classical roots and that the MA was an aberration In the cool kid terms, they retconned history It’s not cool?

Aberration Mr. C? 1. the act of departing from the right, normal, or usual course. 2. the act of deviating from the ordinary, usual, or normal type. 3. deviation from truth or moral rectitude. 4. mental irregularity or disorder, especially of a minor or temporary nature; lapse from a sound mental state.

The Theme of THIS Class The Middle Ages arise as a synthesis of the Roman Empire, the Church, and the German barbarians. The MA impacts our culture today. Are you impacted by your parents? Were they impacted by your grandparents? Ecetera (and all the rest)

The Questions for THIS Class When did the Roman Empire/Classical civilization end and the Middle Ages begin? When did the Western world begin its religious tradition? When did the West take the lead in technology? When and how did the Western world develop distinct “governments” separate from ancient world, Byzantium, and Islam? What pieces of the MA still exists in our world?

Byzantium? Byzantium Constantinople Istanbul

Off to Rome! Questions?
