Medieval Christian Europe appeared with the decline of the Western Roman empire and the rise of Christianity. When Western Rome fell, cultural identity that once unified almost all of Europe disappeared. Christianity was able to fill this space by having people become more religious, identifying themselves with the Christian church. Moreover, Christianity gave political leaders legitimacy by Gods. Christianity became the center of the cultural life in western Europe and what is more important, it created a new social elite in which would dominate arts and sciences. Christianity gave an spiritual escape from the difficult Medieval ages. Europe was getting porer, there were outbreaks of many deadly illnesses and people were living in fear.

Medieval times are percieved as being one of the darkest in the Europes history, despite it's efforts to glorify the religion.
