Middle Ages: History - The term Middle Ages refers mainly to the history of Christian and Jewish Europe between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance, around 400-1500 AD. Historians usually divide this into three smaller periods, the Early Middle Ages, the High Middle Ages, and the Late Middle Ages. Each of these periods was very eventful, and because we know more about this more recent history than we do about the Sumerians or the Egyptians, it can be harder to pick out what are the most important events.

Secrets of Lost Empires: Medieval Siege - Welcome to the companion Web site to the NOVA program "Medieval Siege". In the Medieval Arms Race, The trebuchet was only the most frightening of the weapons early European warriors employed in siege warfare. They also relied on battering rams, siege towers, tunnels - anything to gain access to a castle. Defenders, meanwhile, had a few tricks of their own. Follow a slide show that documents NOVA's successful attempt to build and shoot a giant trebuchet, the most destructive war machine that ever laid siege to a medieval castle. Professor Richard Holmes, a British military historian and member of the NOVA trebuchet-building team, describes what everyday life was like in a typical English castle of the Middle Ages.
