Medieval Chess Sets

The Middle Ages refer to the middle period in the division of Europe's history into three "ages": the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Modern Times. It was a period of great cultural, political, and economic changes in Europe. The Middle Ages featured the first maintained urbanization of northern and western Europe. Modern European states can trace their origins to the Middle Ages, and their political boundaries being the result of past military and dynastic achievements in this agitated period. Medieval chess sets presented here represent popularized characters from that era.
