Leonardo da Vinci, or Michelangelo, I would choose Leonardo in a heart beat. I mean, from what history teaches us, Michelangelo was kind of a jerk. Leonardo, from what history teaches us, was a kind and gentle man. So, who whould I rather meet? Well, Leonardo da Vinci of course! They were both great artists, but I do like Leonardo better. Not only is he kind, but his artwork is extraordinarily amazing. I mean, when I look at the paintings now, I mean, a ton of multi-colored lines splattered on a canvas, and then a museum buys it for like a million dollars, and when I go and splatter a ton of lines on a piece of paper, I don't get anything for it. But da Vinci, well he really created art.


     Not only was Leonardo a fantastic artist, but he was also a great sculptor, special effects person, and he was an inventor. He sketched some of the worlds first flying machines. Well, he sketched them. Im sorry to say, but I dont even know if they were ever invented.
 
     I think that my favorite topic of the Middle Ages was the Feudal System time. This is when the Barbarians were attacking Europe and the Lords and Nobles were controlling most of the land. I don't know how come this seemed to be my favorite time, but I guess it was just the barbarian war. It seemed like the time that would take place in a book dated in the Middle Ages or a video game dated at the same time too. This is when the Dark Ages were at its best. When the peasants and serfs were working, but got land and protection in return, when the king did not have the power to do whatever he wanted, and when the Barbarians did not control every single piece oof land in the Euopeans.
