THE LATE MIDDLE AGES (30:00) Two hundred years of war and plague took a toll on Europe. New economic powers expanded after the Hundred Years' War and the War of the Roses. The impact of Franciscans, Dominicans and of the philosopher Thomas Aquinas is explored. Featured images include Giotto's paintings of the life of St. Francis. THE NATIONAL MONARCHIES (30:00) Commerce and industry became new routes to economic influence and introduced a new middle class into urban life. Guns, gunpowder, and dynastic marriages supported centralized monarchies. Featured images include a portrait of Henry VIII and paintings immortalizing Joan of Arc. |
