The Middle Ages was a historical period that followed the end of the Western Roman Empire and reached the end of the 15th century. It is customary to have it started in 476 a.D., the year in which Odoacer deposed the last Western emperor, Romulus Augustulus, and ended with 1492, the date of the discovery of America. The early Middle Ages were characterized by the barbarian kingdoms, by the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire and by the triumph of feudal society; the late Middle Ages, on the other hand, saw the development of free communes, from the crisis of feudalism to the rise of the free lords of Italy.
