De tien tijdvakken: Steden en Staten

In this series, we take you through the ten eras: a handy historical structure that helps you better understand the past. From prehistory to the present, each era tells its own story about how people lived, thought, and shaped the world. It is the era of Cities and States. Life in Europe is slowly changing: old farming villages are growing into vibrant cities of trade and crafts. Knights are making way for burghers and merchants, and powerful rulers are trying to expand their influence. The church still plays a major role, but it also faces criticism and change. Discover how trade, power, and faith combined to reshape medieval Europe.
