A few that come to mind are:
There is a long list of cathedrals that can be found at the link below.
The House of Medici
I would say the most famous medieval vallain was the English King Richard III. There is a link to an article about him below.
The most famous explorer in the Middle Ages was probably Marco Polo.
Much of the most beautiful stained glass work that has ever been done was done for the windows of European cathedrals between 1100-1600 AD.
Probably the most famous poet and storyteller was Geoffrey Chaucer. There is a link below to an article on Chaucer.
The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years. Cathedrals came and went, though most probably lasted. The number was very large. One definition of the word city is the site of an episcopal see, a legal definition once used (still used?) in much of Britain. If we apply that definition, there were as many cathedrals in the Middle Ages as there were cities.
Most orphanages of the Middle Ages were run by monasteries. It seems some cathedrals had orphanages as well, because some were put in the care of monasteries and others in the care of bishops.
William Caxton
A cathedral is a church having the seat of a bishop. It is the site of the administrative center of a diocese, which is a geographical grouping of smaller churches. Cathedrals are usually very large churches, and often very grand. During the Middle Ages there were several types of cathedrals. Most important of these in Europe are the Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic styles. There are links below to pictures showing cathedrals of these styles.
Beowulf
I think probably Dante's Divine Comedy might be the most famous written work of the Middle Ages. Another possibility could be Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
The House of Medici
I would say the most famous medieval vallain was the English King Richard III. There is a link to an article about him below.
