    Middle Age

    Lawrence Siervo
    The medieval era, also known as the Middle Ages, spanned from the 5th to 15th centuries between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Renaissance. This period saw important events like the rule of Charlemagne, the devastation of the Black Death plague, and the Hundred Years' War. Johannes Gutenberg's invention of the mechanical printing press in Mainz, Germany in the 1440s was one of the most significant innovations in history, making books more widely available. Mechanical clocks were also invented centuries earlier in 723 AD by a Chinese monk and mathematician.
