How dark were the "Dark Ages" really? And why is it called the Middle Ages? Did it really begin in 476? And when did it end? Everything in the Middle Ages depended on whether you were born a peasant's son or a prince's daughter. "Ordo", the God-ordained order of the world, determined where each person had his or her place, which he or she was to fill but not to leave arbitrarily. This time, which seems so distant today, has always exerted a special fascination on us.
But how did people live in the Middle Ages, what was important to them? Which personalities still have an impact? Thomas Frenz draws a picture of a tremendously eventful epoch that still concerns us today.
