The Middle Ages span roughly 1,000 years, ending between 1400 and 1450. Though, in Spain, 1492 is considered the end of their medieval period and the beginning of the modern era.  \nThe Middle Ages changed the landscape of Europe through:  \n• A surge in Christianity leading to the building of great cathedrals  \n• Clearing of large tracts of land by peasants  \n• Settling of new towns and villages  \n• Building of great castles by local nobility  \nThe period was one of human expansion, centralization and great political upheaval and violence, resulting in the foundation of many modern European countries.  \nSpain was not the united country that it is today. In the 11th century there were multiple Spanish Kingdoms that each claimed a different area of land. The map outlines each of the 11th century Spanish Kingdoms and their land. Medieval Times has knights that represent many of the areas in the Kingdoms of both Leon and Navarre.  \nOwning and Working the Land in the Feudal System  \n\n| Royalty The King, Queen, etc. |\n| --- |\n| The King or Queen claimed ownership of the land and granted granted the land to important nobles-these nobles then pledged their loyalty by swearing to serve and protect the King or Queen.
