Medieval History

From the rise of Charlemagne to the upheavals of the late Middle Ages, the medieval world was shaped by conquest, faith, ambition, and rebellion. Empires were forged and fractured, kings and dynasties rose and fell, and events such as the Norman Conquest of 1066 reshaped nations and identities that still endure today.

From the last stand of the Vikings to the long devastation of the Hundred Years’ War, this era was marked by conflict, intrigue, and popular unrest, including moments like the Peasants’ Revolt. Alongside war and politics, medieval life was also defined by intellectual curiosity, scientific inquiry, and dissent.

This curated collection brings together stories of power, belief, and transformation, featuring series on Charlemagne, The Road to 1066, Henry IV, Medieval Science, and Medieval Treason.
