This is the long-awaited second volume of one of the finest general introductions to the medieval world of recent times. Lavishly illustrated, with many accompanying maps and charts, it presents a synthesis of current scholarly research and interpretation.Volume II begins at the turn of the millennium and covers the extraordinary rebirth of Europe, in terms of demographic expansion, agrarian settlement and organisation, the establishment of towns and villages, the ascendancy of the feudal system, and the appearance of formal states and kingdoms.
