The Middle Ages, war, and perspectives (Martin Clauss)
The Middle Ages, war, and perspectives
Professor of medieval history
Is our picture of the Middle Ages correct? Was it all about knights in shining armour? Was it the time of kings and heroes or was it the most brutal period in human history? Martin Clauss discusses why our understanding of the Middle Ages is a modern construction, what our society will look like to our ancestors, and why we need history.
