High Middle Ages

The middle period (the High Middle Ages) follows, a time of developed institutions of lordship and vassalage, castle-building and mounted warfare, and reviving urban and commercial life. The High Middle Ages were characterized by the urbanization of Europe, military expansion, and intellectual revival that historians identify between the 11th century and the end of the 13th century. Northern Crusades and the advance of Christian kingdoms and military orders into previously pagan regions in the Baltic and Finnic northeast brought the forced assimilation of numerous native peoples to the European entity. The Crusades probably had the greatest influence on Medieval Fashion; importing fine silks, satins, damasks, brocades, and velvets from the Far East. This fashion era was based on newly available materials and the beginings of a merchant class.
