Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

A broad overview of medieval European History from Constantine´s conversion to the passages from the Middle Ages to the early Modern era. This survey is thematic more than chronological. The lectures will tend to focus more (but not only) on politics, religion, and culture; the mandatory textbook deals more (but not only) with social and economic history. It is advised to accompany this lecture class with a Guided Reading (GR), among others the instructor´s own on Monday evenings.

Assessment and permitted materials

90-mn written exam, to be written either in English, French, or German (or a combination if a word fails you in one language). University rules dictate that students have 4 opportunities to take the exam, the first one at the end of the semester of instruction.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

3 part exam: I. Identification of 2 out of 4 images (0-20 points); II. Quick identification of 10 concepts or persons or events from the textbook (0-30 points, 16 needed to pass the whole exam, i.e., 15,5 or below on this part means a Fail, 5); III. Essay question synthetic in nature based on instructor´s lectures (0-50 points).

Examination topics

See above.

Reading list

Blockmans and Hoppenbrouwers, Introduction to Medieval Europe 300–1500, 2nd ed. (2014). Unlikely that the class can be passed without reading it.
