Today we close out the Middle Ages and set the stage for the Renaissance in Europe. Professor Eugen Weber continues in:

24. The National Monarchies
A new urban middle class emerged, while dynastic marriages established centralized monarchies.

 

Dante, Papal Schisms, Jean D’Arc, and the rise of commerce/middle class and the city state pulls power from the landed gentry. The old feudal order is being replaced. From this chaos and change, the national monarchies are strengthened at the cost of the local barons. The modern map of Europe that we all can recognize is drawn in this time.
