Early Middle Ages (476 C.E.-1000 C.E.)
You Mean There Was a Time Called the Dark Ages?
Europe Falls Apart
Scholars of European history identify the time
between the Roman Empire and the "modern era" as the Middle Ages. When the western portion of the Roman Empire was conquered by German tribes, 1,000 years of Roman protection, power, and prosperity ended. Throughout Europe, people forgot about the glories of Rome and Greece.People forgot about science and math, art and
literature, trade and progress. Instead, they had keeping safe from enemies. The "light" of civilization was turned off. That is why the Middle Ages were also called the Dark Ages.

to religion to provide unity. The Roman Catholic Church grew in importance and was the only institution which existed throughout
Europe. Church leaders, especially the pope in Rome, were more powerful than kings or emperors. Monks living in monasteries
created beautiful religious books by hand. Monasteries were the only centers of learning during the early Middle Ages.Germany, France, and England. The Magyars from Asia were excellent horsemen
who settled in central Europe. Armies of Muslims came into southern Europe and conquered the Iberian peninsula of Spain and Portugal. The Angles and Saxons invaded England and brought their languages which became the basis for English.Invaders Across Europe

For protection, people looked for strong local leaders. The leaders, called nobles or lords, protected the peasants living on their
lands in exchange for the peasants farming the land or serving as soldiers during times of war. The nobles depended on the
protection of a more powerful lord, such as a count or a king, and, in exchange, provided soliders and taxes for the king. The
and the permission to rule the people who lived on the land. The system - giving land in exchange for service and protection -
was known as feudalism. Life in the feudal system centered around the manor. The manor was the property and buildings of a
lord. The lord lived in a large house or a castle which provided protection from invaders. Knights were the warriors who fought
with swords and shields and wore heavy suits of armor. At the bottom of the feudal hierarchy were the serfs. Serfs were
peasant farmers who resided on the manor and served the lord. Serfs were bound to the land. Serfs could not leave the manor,
own property, or marry without the permission of the lord. Hard to believe, but feudalism existed for hundreds of years because
it provided for some primary basic needs of people - protection and order. Early Middle Ages (cont.) FCPS World I SOL Standards: WHI 9a, 9b, 9c and 9dFCPS HS Social Studies © 2013

Charlemagne
During the early Middle Ages, one leader tried to bring back the greatness of the Roman Empire.Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, was a king of the Franks, a group that lived in northern Germany.
Charlemagne conquered western and central Europe, including Germany, France, and Italy. In 800 C.E., the pope placed a crown on Charlemagne's head and declared him the new Roman emperor. Charlemagne brought peace, enforced laws, and built roads and schools. Charlemagne wanted Charlemagne's son and grandsons were not strong leaders and the empire fell apart after Charlemagne's death.
