HIST 363 - Cathedrals, Crusaders & Coll


3 Credit Hours
This course examines medieval civilization in Europe for the period generally known as the High Middle Ages (1000-1300). We will organize our exploration of this period with three emblematic developments of the High Middle Ages: cathedral-building, the crusading movement, and the rise of universities. We will discuss the foundations of these developments, addressing the nature of the agricultural and commercial revolutions, high medieval religion, and medieval politics and patronage.
