The Middle Ages
is a period of European history that lasted from the 5th until the 15th
centuries. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, and was
followed by the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. Kings became the heads of
centralized nation states, reducing crime and violence but making the ideal of
a unified Christendom more distant. Intellectual life was marked by scholasticism,
a philosophy which emphasized joining faith to reason, and by the founding of universities. Source
