Europe in the Middle Ages
The history of Mediaeval Europe is so vast a subject that the attempt to deal with it in a small compass must entail either severe compression or what may appear at first sight reckless omission. The path of compression has been trodden many times, as in J. H. Robinson's Introduction to the History of Western Europe, or in such series as the 'Periods of European History' published by Messrs.

Europe in the Middle Ages
This history book presents an accurate and detailed history of the much-celebrated Mediaeval Europe. Despite the subject being so vast, the author, Ierne L. Plunket, has made a notable effort not to compress the details about the background of Western Europe. Plunket wrote it intending to supply his readers the facts about the life in Medieval Europe; the classes that existed during the olden times; the lives and principles of the heroes and villains of history; the beliefs and prejudices of the great thinkers, and much more. Everything anyone wants to know about this subject is mentioned in the book with Plunket's incredibly understandable writing style. The book covers every detail from the decline of Rome to the Renaissance, containing interesting information on the prominent events- battles, defeats, massacres, etc., and also giving a great idea about the politics of that period. This historical work primarily acts as a window to medieval Europe. It's a must-read for all history enthusiasts.
