The Middle Ages – the most controversial millennium in the history of mankind!

This is the world of valiant knights and fair ladies, mighty kings and their loyal vassals, wandering poets and mendicant monks, grandiose castles and Gothic cathedrals. 

And at the same time, this is a gloomy and dark period, when epidemics and famine raged and ignorance and cruelty reigned everywhere.

Let’s go visit a monastery and a castle, a noisy city square and a university. We’ll sit at the dinner table with lords and peasants, see how artisans work and where the merchants rush, join the ranks of pilgrims and crusaders. We’ll see how the map of Europe changed, how states arose and collapsed, how dynasties came and went. We will find out what the medieval man himself was like: what he was afraid of and what he believed in.

On this journey, you see the Middle Ages in all their glory!
