Part one (of two) I seek to argue the Middle Ages proper ended during the 14th century. The 14th century was the most transformative since the B.C/A.D divide and placed us on the path to modernity. This article explores the changes in the treatment of women, heretics, and witches, along with issues of racism and the plague. All these groups were negatively affected during and after the 14th century.

In this article, part two, I continue to advocate for a redefinition of the Middle Ages, arguing that the 14th century was a truly transformative period that marked the end of one era and the beginning of the early modern period. This section focuses on the transformation in politics.

From a traditional Christian and libertarian perspective, it marked the decay of society.
