The New Cambridge Medieval History

The fourth volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers

the eleventh and twelfth centuries, which comprised perhaps the most

dynamic period in the European middle ages.

This is a history of Europe, but the continent is interpreted widely

to include the Near East and North Africa as well. The volume is

divided into two Parts of which this, the second, deals with the course

of events, ecclesiastical and secular, and major developments in an age

marked by the transformation of the position of the papacy in a process

fuelledbyaradicalreformationofthechurch,thedeclineofthewestern

and eastern empires, the rise of western kingdoms and Italian elites,

and the development of governmental structures, the beginnings of the

recovery of Spain from the Moors and the establishment of western

settlements in the eastern Mediterranean region in the wake of the

crusades.
