- In your comments and long quotations touching on verious aspects on
- Mediaeval Europe, it would perhaps be better to ask why certain things
- took place, rather than to just quote them without regard to background
- circumstances. During the Middle Ages, Europe formed most of what may be
- called Christendom, and despite many internal divisions, this was a
- unifying factor. The legal framework of Europe was based on this
- Christianity, and therefore it was quite natural and right to expel
- or deny full participation to those who refused to belong.
