The Middle Ages were a historic period in European History. They lasted from about 476 to 1453 or 1492, and apply to all of Europe.

A certain amount of caution has to be exercised about this. The nature of the Middle Ages was very different in different parts of Europe. I would break the area down into sections: the Byzantine Empire, Spain, Northwestern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe. Each of these was very distinct from the rest.

The Byzantine Empire was marked by a certain continuity of Roman law and politics, and a more or less continuing decline, until it disappeared in 1453.

Spain was an area influenced by a combination of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish cultures.

Northwestern Europe had a history of decline and gradual growth, the influence of Charlemagne, the and an increase in the importance of education that was ongoing.

Northern Europe was an area evangelized by Catholic monks, who brought new ways of thought and took the area into a part of Europe influenced by Rome.

Eastern Europe was an area evangelized by Eastern Orthodox monks who similarly brought new ways of thought and took the area into a part of Europe influenced by Constantinople.
