HIS 233 - Medieval Europe, 500–13504 credits (Fall)
Explores the interplay between institutions (such as the church, monarchy, and lordship), economic trends, and society in Western Europe between 500 A.D. and 1350 A.D. While providing a general survey of the Middle Ages, this course will focus particular attention on the institutions and practices by which order and justice were maintained after the fall of the Roman Empire, the ways in which Christianity shaped and was shaped by post-Roman society, how the ideas of “Europe” and “Christendom” evolved, and how members of ethnically and religiously mixed communities achieved a modus vivendi. Option of doing some reading in French, Latin, and Spanish.
Prerequisite: HIS 100 or second-year standing.
Note: Plus-2 option available.
Instructor: Staff
