The Medieval Glory

The era has many glorious phases and faces when it began on the fall of the Roman empire Age of Darkness seized war and fire and time stirred diverse cultures and races Different flavors were tasted at the end of the story Commerce and knowledge became Europe's glory but division of Germanic tribes was Roman's fall and many emperor’s responded to religion's call From Clovis to Louis was Christianism Monks lives and prays in their monasteries Socio-political systems such as manorialism and feudalism gave way for peace and order to avoid miseries The knights are nobilities that needs to pass every ordeal with passion, poise, bravery, and their will to fight for their king, their land, and their brothers no matter how far or how hard the battle offers In closing of another chapter in history the Church plans to retrieve their Holy Land from the Muslim Turks they'll fight hand in hand Pope Urban II leads the Crusade that led to tragedy Children were used to touch hearts of stones but it was the road for them to loose their soul and bones There were nine crusades that were executed but none of which did the land exalted The effects are the weakening of feudalism and the Church was shadowed with criticism but it paved way for the innovation of agricultural technology from conserving water to wind energy The rise of the trade industry strengthen the European economy Fares are conducted by the feudal lords traders are selling foods, arts, and swords Truly, the Medieval Time will leave a trace in history and in every human race It became the cornerstone of the eras after A foundation for another stone to be smoother
