The Penguin historical atlas of the medieval world

This new historical atlas – richly illustrated with photographs, artwork recreations and full-colour maps – explores the Middle Ages from the coming of the barbarian invasions in the fourth century to the first voyages to the New World in the sixteenth. Coverage of major events – the Hundred Years’ War, the Christian Reconquest of Spain – is supplemented by discussion of such key topics as the medieval economy, the growth of towns and the spread of printing, resulting in a rich and multi-faceted introduction to Europe and its neighbours in the Middle Ages.
