{{Middle Ages}}The High Middle Ages was the period of the middle ages from 1000 to 1300 AD.  During this time, Europe's population flourished, her [[nation-states]] arose, and the [[Crusades]] took place. It was also a time of great and frequent war, famine and pestilence, with superstition and tradition preventing any notable advancements in science or the arts. It is generally agreed that the High Medieval Period is essentially the time in which most Nation States can trace their lineage to, but was also a dark time for the creative or scientific professions.
