In European history, the Middle Ages or Medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: Antiquity, Medieval period, and Modern period. The Medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages.
Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples, which had begun in Late Antiquity, continued in the Early Middle Ages. The barbarian invaders, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—once part of the Eastern Roman Empire—came under the rule of the Caliphate, an Islamic empire, after conquest by Muhammad's successors. Although there were substantial changes in society and political structures, the break with Antiquity was not complete. The still-sizeable Byzantine Empire survived in the east and remained a major power. The empire's law code, the Code of Justinian, was rediscovered in Northern Italy in 1070 and became widely admired later in the Middle Ages. In the West, most kingdoms incorporated the few extant Roman institutions. Monasteries were founded as campaigns to Christianise pagan Europe continued. The Franks, under the Carolingian dynasty, briefly established the Carolingian Empire during the later 8th and early 9th century. It covered much of Western Europe, but later succumbed to the pressures of internal civil wars combined with external invasions—Vikings from the north, Magyars from the east, and Saracens from the south.
A documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record. Such films were originally shot on film stock—the only medium available—but now include video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video, made into a TV show or released for screening in cinemas. "Documentary" has been described as a "filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception" that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries.
In popular myth, the word documentary was coined by Scottish documentarian John Grierson in his review of Robert Flaherty's film Moana (1926), published in the New York Sun on 8 February 1926, written by "The Moviegoer" (a pen name for Grierson).
Grierson's principles of documentary were that cinema's potential for observing life could be exploited in a new art form; that the "original" actor and "original" scene are better guides than their fiction counterparts to interpreting the modern world; and that materials "thus taken from the raw" can be more real than the acted article. In this regard, Grierson's definition of documentary as "creative treatment of actuality" has gained some acceptance, with this position at variance with Soviet film-maker Dziga Vertov's provocation to present "life as it is" (that is, life filmed surreptitiously) and "life caught unawares" (life provoked or surprised by the camera).

Genres: Drama, Short,Many contemporary historians and schoolbooks portray the Middle Ages as a time of poverty, backwardness, and religious arbitrariness, from which the people were freed only by the Renaissance and later the Industrial Revolution. On the other hand, there have been a few historians who paint a much different picture and insist that the Middle Ages weren't as bad as some claim, and that in some ways they were better than most other historical periods. Here are 25 facts about this “dark” and controversial era that will help you make up your mind concerning which category you belong to: the lovers or the haters of Medieval times.

The times when knights fought in tournaments to win the heart of a fair lady are long gone now. And although many girls would think that's sad, actually there's no reason for remorse. Yeah, it all seems so beautiful and romantic, but in reality a medieval knight would be of no interest to a modern lady at all: should a modern woman meet a real knight, she would probably be filled with horror. You don't believe us? Well, here are ten terrifying facts about medieval knights. Music: Scheming Weasel by Kevin Macleod Kevin's website: http://www.incompetech.com
Every year there is a medieval style combat tournament that takes place in a castle in Europe; that means swords, full body armor, and shields. This past year we followed the American team to the event to get a sense of how intense the competition is. We saw major injuries, the kind of patriotic pride you see in the Olympics, and sparks fly - literally.

Castles: The Magnificence Of the Medieval Era - History Documentary Films. A castle is a kind of fortified structure constructed in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages by nobility. Over the approximately 900 years that castles were constructed, they took on a great lots of kinds with several different features, although some, such as drape wall surfaces and arrowslits, were commonplace. A European development, castles come from the 9th and 10th centuries, after the fall of the Carolingian Empire led to its region being separated amongst individual lords and royal princes. These nobles developed castles to control the area promptly bordering them, and were both protective and offending frameworks; they offered a base where raids can be launched as well as security from enemi...
When the moon turns to blood
The seas boil and rise
Man?s days grow few
And soon all will die
Seven is the number
The Holy Trinity
As the Seventh Seal is broken
So is tranquility
The words have been written
The course has been planned
The apocalyptic Scripture
Sentence of the damned
When the death book is opened
The seven trumpets sound
The Seventh Seal is broken
To Hell man is bound
The plagues will be many
As Death plays his game
A test of will and strength
A game that?s played in vain
For a fortunate few
The game is not in vain
To escape Death?s grasp
To live in other?s pain
At the close of the day
The game?s end is near
With Death?s wicked smile
Your fate is finally clear
The Dance of Death in silhoutte
On a hillside desolate
The figures move and sway
