The Early Middle Ages 500 – 1000 AD

After the fall of the Roman Empire the Nobles of Europe came to power with the help of the Roman Catholic Popes. This should last for a thousand years (until about 1,450 AD) then the power of the cities and reformers became stronger and stronger. This should result in the slowly dismantling of Kingdoms, Counties, Duchies and the power of the Roman Catholic Church.

The people who suffered during this long period under the joke of the Church and the Warlike Kings, Counts and Dukes became more and more independent with the help of the Cities. From the 14th century onwards most cities were fortified all over Europe to defend the citizens against Warlike Nobles. Finally came the time of progress in architecture, art, trade and science and the first form of democracy was introduced in 1462 AD

Are you sure you tried Wikipedia? If so, go to your local library and looking in an encyclopedia. Look up wars, religious, England, then the year. Or, England, wars, religious (or religious wars), and then the year.

That should work. ^^
