I'm curious about how this portion of CHOW compares to year-long plans from other programs. I would love to condense the MA without having to plan everything out on my own. Thanks!

we plan to do Famous Men of the Middle Ages in one semester and Famous Men of the Renaissance and Reformation in one semester. I understand what you mean about the pacing. Knights, castles, monks, etc. are fun, but I want to move on.

I'm not familiar with the dates of the time periods but it seems that a good 250+ pages cover that era. (The book is roughly 600 pages.)

I have the 1997 Calvert edition and it has 26 chapters from monastic Europe to Elizabethan England, or 120 pages. I guess it depends on your edition.
HTH,

...and it looks like the middle ages starts with Chapter 39 and ends with Chapter 61 (Print & Powder). At the end of Ch. 61, it reads, "So some people call 1453 the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of Modern History. Gunpowder had put an end to the Middle Ages. The invention of printing and that little magic needle, the compass, did a great deal to start what we call Modern History."
CHOW has a total of 91 chapters.
HTH!
