Description
The Middle Ages is an oft-overlooked era in Western Civilization when many of our modern borders, cultures, and traditions came to be. Using in-depth research, the story of our medieval ancestors comes to life in vivid detail with an emphasis on tying the myriad storylines of the time together, to highlight the spider's web of European, African, Islamic and Asian entanglements proving once and for all our modern world was not created in a vacuum.
