A panoramic book of European Medieval History to learn "truths" that historical research bypasses or silences.

The medieval world of the West is not as well known in our country as, for example, the medieval Greek history of the Byzantine Empire or other historical periods. The collapse of the Roman Empire led to the decline of the economy and, consequently, to cultural decline. That is why the Middle Ages were characterized as the "Dark Ages". However, this era, which lasted for about 1000 years, is characterized by some critical moments of change for the developments of European history. At the end of this period, Europe was a different world than it was at the beginning and had formed the complex physiognomy that it has more or less maintained since then until today.

Through small and understandable texts, the reader can follow interesting and largely unknown aspects related to the military operations of the time, the crusades, the kings, the Church, the economy, the intellectual and artistic activity, the great geographical discoveries, etc., which are at the basis of the appearance of the modern world.
