OverviewThe Middle Ages in Western Europe extended from roughly 500 to 1500 A.D. During this era, hundreds of monastic communities were founded and played important roles in religious, economic, social, literary and even military realms. Each had different emphases and goals, ranging from aristocratic monasteries and nunneries that offered comfort and security, to rural institutions that specialized only in the most ascetic lifestyles. This book has two ambitious goals. The first is to detail the most significant monastic and secular events of the Middle Ages in Western Europe, such as the fall of the Roman Catholic Church, the rise of Protestantism and the various types and purposes of monasteries and nunneries. The second is to introduce some notable and unusual individuals who made their mark upon the Middle Ages-- such as Eustache, the French monk who became a pirate and made a pact with the Devil.
