Medieval

Any book tagged with this topic is about the history of the Medieval period in Europe or about historic figures who lived in Medieval times. The Medieval Period is often defined as beginning in the 5th century AD, with the decline of the Roman Empire, and ending in the 15th century with the beginning of the Renaissance. This thousand year period is characterized by vastly different ruling groups and peoples, but this period is known for the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, Viking invasions, the Norman Conquest in 1066, the Crusades, and the Knights Templar, to name a few.
