Renaissance History (1500-1650)

The End of Europe's Middle Ages

Intended to provide a overview of the conditions at the end of Europe's Middle Ages, the site is presented in a series of well-organized chapters that summarize the economic, political, religious and intellectual environment of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
