Medieval Civilization begins with Augustine's rise as bishop and the fall of Rome, followed by the disorder throughout Europe. The land mass is divided into many different kingdoms that are in continual conflict with one another. Religion was the driving force behind medieval socity. Civilization progressed by the progression of Christianity throughout Europe. Battles were waged to spread the word and contain and dismember paganism. Christianity united the different kingdoms together to create a balance of power throughout the land. The different kingdoms honored priests and bishops alongside that of kings and knights. The knights fought valiantly on behalf of the king and their land. The religious figures of society wielded political power and took part in the decisions that the king was faced to make. Thus, religion and government were fused into one single culture that defines the medieval age.
