Famous Men of the Middle Ages

Description

John H. Haaren was an influential educator and historian that has shaped the face of education in New York around the beginning of the 20th century, and has written a number of inspiring and highly informative educational resources on the topic of history. His Famous Men series, written between 1904 and 1909 is counted among his best works.

Famous Men of the Middle Ages introduces the period between the end of the ancient times and the beginning of the modern era, including a period of about 1,000 years between the 5th and 15th centuries. This book, however, doesn’t merely present the facts, but also delves deep into the personalities, decisions and achievements of the people who have shaped history throughout this period.

Men like Charlemagne, Attila the Hun and Edward the Black Prince are presented in detail, together with their background and the pivotal choices they have made that have carried so much weight as to decide the future of entire countries and civilizations. The exciting tales associated with these men are showcased by Haaren in an educative, highly engaging manner, as he provides aspiring history students with a clear and concise picture of the events that these personalities have shaped and taken part in.

Haaren’s works are extremely valuable for anyone from young school children looking to improve their grades by learning through a more dynamic, story-like version of medieval history, to home schooled children and students whose skills and knowledge will considerably expand as a result of reading this book.

Whether you want to teach your kids more about the large scale movements of the Migration Period, the development of the Germanic people or the conquest of the American continents, you’ll find they can learn all that and more, while having a clearer perception of the actual people and decisions that have led to the birth of modern history.
