This is the time where Christianity and kings are able to create some order among the people of Europe. Europe is divided into Kingdoms, and will remain that way until the 1800s. New agricultural advancements were made (crop rotation), allowing people to live better than they did in the Dark Ages, but Europe was not as prosperous as in the Roman days. This is the era of castles, knights, King Arthur, and such. The Papacy in Rome was formed, and the first popes guided the European kings on their religious paths.
