About The Age Of Feudalism
Product Description Introduces European history from the fall of Rome to the rise of nation-states. From Booklist Beginning with the fall of the Roman Empire, this well-organized book traces the history of feudalism in Europe from the fifth century until the rise of the centralized nation-state brought it to an end. Davenport discusses the strengths of feudalism, the role of the Catholic Church in maintaining it, and the forces that led to its downfall. Though he writes clearly throughout the book, the chapters showing the gradual weakening of feudalism are particularly strong. Informative sidebars address subjects such as Saladin’s victory at the Horns of Hattin, an unsuccessful attempt to set up a feudal system in the New World, and the persistence of Japanese feudalism into the nineteenth century. The often-colorful illustrations include reproductions of paintings, prints, and maps. Source notes and short, annotated lists of books and Web sites are appended. From the World History series, this book provides a useful and quite readable introduction to feudalism in Western Europe. Grades 8-11. --Carolyn Phelan About the Author B01
