A eunuch was a male that had his sexual organs removed. They were often used as servants for females or children. They were considered more trustworthy since they would not be able to have sexual relations with those that they served.

Are middle ages and medieval times the same?

The Middle Ages and medieval times are the same thing. The word medieval is defined as the adjectival form for Middle Ages, and comes from Latin words meaning middle ages. One thing to remember, however, is that while a given historian usually does not distinguish between the meanings of the two terms, historians disagree with each other about the dates of the period. So one historian might say the terms Middle Ages and medieval times both refer to the times from 476 to 1453, and another might say they both terms refer to the times from from 1066 to 1485. There is a link below to an article on the Middle Ages.


Where in the world is the medieval?

The terms Middle Ages and medieval refer more or less to the time between the fall of the West Roman Empire and the Renaissance in Europe. They are regarded as general to all, or almost all, of Europe, from 476 to 1453 AD., and at various times, parts of Mediterranean Africa and the Middle East. They were times characterized by feudalism. That being the case, the terms Middle Ages and medieval have been given for other similar periods, with other dates, in other parts of the World, such as the Japanese Middle Ages. If there is no specific indication of a place, then the term applies to the European Middle Ages.
