What was the Most significant advances in the Late Middle Ages?
In government, the Early Medieval period saw the development of established countries, such as France and the Holy Roman Empire, from smaller and less well fixed nations, such as the kingdoms of the Lombards, Visigoths, and Merovingian Franks. Also in government, the Early Middle Ages saw the introduction of the medieval commune, which developed into independent republican city states during this time. Venice is an example of such a republic. The medieval communes became even more important after the Early Middle Ages ended. Legal codes developed greatly, as memorized Germanic law and written Latin law were merged and reconciled. The general illiteracy that had come with the decline of Roman civilization, beginning with the crisis of the third century, reached its depth about the time the Middle Ages began, or soon after. The rise of literacy and learning began fairly early on, as Visigoths were opening schools as early as the first half of the 6th century, and the English just before the beginning of the 7th. The rise of learning and literacy was very much promoted by Charlemagne, beginning in the 8th century. The rise in literacy is reflected by a rise in communication. From a time when trade and travel were very much diminished, at about the beginning of the Middle Ages, there was a slow, gradual increase in trade, travel, and pilgrimage, as the Early Middle Ages went on. Socially, Early Middle Ages began in many parts of Western Europe with Germanic and Roman groups segregated; for example, it was illegal for a Visigoth to marry a Roman. This segregation vanished as time went by. Languages changed, with the dominant languages of the kingdoms of Western European ruling groups changing from Germanic to Romance languages. Feudalism arose, and with it came the age of the mounted knight. Agriculture underwent a number of important changes, including the introduction of the horse collar, horse shoe, heavy plow, three field system of crop rotation, and a number of new crops. The increase in agricultural development made it possible for towns and cities to grow. This trend began in the Early Middle Ages, and was also associated with the increase in trade.

There was never a Celtic empire.
