The Medieval Age is a period of time of history of new systems, warfare, education, and religious conflicts. This age lasted from 600 AD/CE to the mid-1400 AD/CE. After the destruction of the Western Roman Empire and the end of the [[Classical Age]], the largest cities began to decay, population declined, trade slowed, literature were lost, kingdoms rise and died, and the rise of immigration had begun. This became the Early Middle Age or the "Dark Ages", since there were a lot of disadvantages for people living in the West. In the east, the Eastern Roman Empire also known as the Byzantine Empire had still flourished and had thoughts to reconquer the lost lands on the Western Roman Empire. The Muslims had formed a caliphate in the Middle East and conquered lost Roman lands such as Egypt and Iberia. Back to the West, the Franks, now converted Christians, had sought to conquer the remains of West Europe. They eventually defeated neighboring Germanic tribes, stopped an Islamic advance at Tours, and covered much of Western Europe forming the Carolingian Empire. The empire had adopted Roman culture and helped stop the decay of growth of the Western Europe. The Latin Catholic Church had been established. New innovations were created such as the plow and three-field planting. The empire had also used the new system of feudalism after Viking raids from the north. At 843 AD/CE, the Carolingian Empire splitted into two kingdoms: France and Germany due to opposing kings. England had fended off the Vikings after a series of Viking raids and conquest New kingdoms were created and the conclusion of the "Dark Ages" and the beginning of the High Middle Ages. Population grew quickly in the High Middle Ages but there will be a series of wars to come. The Muslims had captured Christian cities in the Holy Land and banned Christian pilgrimage. In response, the Church created the famed 'Crusades' to recapture back Christian land. The religious conflict was tough and both sides: Christian and Muslim, lost many casualties. The Muslims still had control over the Holy Land but allowed the Christians to lived and to have pilgrimages there. In Iberia, Spanish kingdoms who were Christian had attacked the Islamic kingdoms and were able to capture Iberia entirely. Scandinavia had adopted feudalism and Christianity. Poland attacked the Baltic Kingdoms to force the people to convert to Christianity and England was conquered by Normans. During the High Middle Ages, chivalry became popular and a new system of scholasticism was created. Education had grown, cathedrals and universities were built, and cities were repaired. Architecture, theatre, science, and new arts had been renowned during the age. New movements of Christianity were created but were denounced heretics by the Catholic Church. In the 1300s, a devastating event occurred; the Black Death. The Black Death was a disease that killed 75 million to 200 million people. Feudalism became doubted and the Church was questioned. The High Middle Ages died out because of it and the Late Middle Ages begun. During the Late Middle Ages, new arts and sciences were renowned in Italy forming the Renaissance.
