Answer 2

I don't know of any strange events off the top of my head. But some of the important events are as follows:

The "Black Plague", bubonic plague, at one time wiped out, killed approximately 1/3 of Europes entire population.

The monasteries preserved much of the knowledge of the past, and when things finally begin to settle down, this resource became available to the populace at large. Had this not happened, heaven only knows where human society would be nowadays.

Architecture as an art and science endured, and we have the great, magnificent cathedrals to marvel at, and enjoy.

The Catholic Church became established throughout the continent, and though many would argue its value, it did provide a semblance of stability and coherence to an otherwise very turbulent and chaotic era.

The spread of Islam was ultimately stopped, both in the east and west; thus permitting the further evolution and development of what we know today as western civilization.

And that's about all I can think of at the moment.
