Medieval culture was shaped and evolved not only from it's military movement, but also by matters at home. "The Arts and Sciences" referred to here are the unique facets of everyday life in the Middle Ages, forming the foundation of a particular culture. The arts and sciences are the keystone to a strong culture, and even the strongest warrior race cannot exist without an evolving base of these. What made the Romans culturally-superior to their adversaries wasn't just their military might, but also their architecture, their sanitation, aqueducts, roads, philosophies, and so forth.

In the Links section of this site are links to webpages others have created on subject of different Medieval arts and sciences. This website is a bit more limited to fields of my own expertise or research. Thus far I have the following pages in reference to the gentler arts and sciences of the middle ages...

Illuminated Manuscripts
The Art of Heraldry
The Thrill of the Hunt
