The focus of the course will be on three main themes: the developing relationship between religion and politics, the development of governmental systems in Europe, in particular constitutionally limited government, and the changing social status of women. In addition to acquiring an understanding of the history of Europe in the middle ages, students will learn how to analyze the evidence provided by primary sources, how to construct historical arguments, and how to evaluate the historical arguments of others.
