<P0-S0> In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or Medieval Period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. <P0-S1>  It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. <P0-S2>  The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. <P0-S3>  The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. <SEP> <P1-S0> England in the Middle Ages concerns the history of England during the medieval period, from the end of the 5th century through to the start of the Early Modern period in 1485. <P1-S1>  When England emerged from the collapse of the Roman Empire, the economy was in tatters and many of the towns abandoned. <P1-S2>  After several centuries of Germanic immigration, new identities and cultures began to emerge, developing into predatory kingdoms that competed for power. <P1-S3>  A rich artistic culture flourished under the Anglo-Saxons, producing epic poems such as "Beowulf" and sophisticated metalwork. <P1-S4>  The Anglo-Saxons converted to Christianity in the 7th century and a network of monasteries and convents was built across England. <P1-S5>  In the 8th and 9th centuries England faced fierce Viking attacks, and the fighting lasted for many decades, eventually establishing Wessex as the most powerful kingdom and promoting the growth of an English identity. <P1-S6>  Despite repeated crises of succession and a Danish seizure of power at the start of the 11th century, by the 1060s England was a powerful, centralised state with a strong military and successful economy. <SEP> <P2-S0> Nunsploitation is a subgenre of exploitation film which had its peak in Europe in the 1970s. <P2-S1>  These films typically involve Christian nuns living in convents during the Middle Ages. <P2-S2>  The main conflict of the story is usually of a religious or sexual nature, such as religious oppression or sexual suppression due to living in celibacy. <P2-S3>  The Inquisition is another common theme. <P2-S4>  These films, although often seen as pure exploitation films, often contain criticism against religion in general and the Catholic Church in particular. <P2-S5>  Indeed, some protagonist dialogue voiced feminist consciousness and rejection of their subordinated social role. <P2-S6>  Many of these films were made in countries where the Catholic Church is influential, such as Italy and Spain. <P2-S7>  One atypical example of the genre, "Killer Nun" ("Suor Omicidi"), was set in then present-day Italy (1978). <SEP> <P3-S0> Medieval archaeology is the study of humankind through its material culture, specialising in the period of the European Middle Ages. <P3-S1>  At its broadest, the period stretches from the 5th to the 16th century and refers to post-Roman but pre-modern remains. <P3-S2>  The period covers the upheaval caused by the fall of the Roman Empire and cultures such as the Vikings, Saxons, and Franks. <P3-S3>  Archaeologists often specialise in studying either the Early Middle Ages (Migration Period) or the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages, although many projects and professionals move across these chronological boundaries. <P3-S4>  The rich nature of the medieval written record has meant that archaeology has often been seen as the "handmaiden to history", especially in the later medieval period. <P3-S5>  Analysis of material culture may enrich or call into question written evidence from the medieval period and the two sources of evidence need to be used together. <P3-S6>  Medieval archaeology has examined the development of medieval settlements, particularly the development of medieval towns and castles. <P3-S7>  It has also contributed to understanding of the spread and development of Christian monasticism during the medieval period.
