Concept map about Bishops and Monks in the Middle Ages, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The map explains the role of bishops in cities, who help the population, defend cities from raids and encourage the conversion of the Germanic peoples to Christianity. It also presents the life of monks in monasteries, which are safe places where food is produced, the poor are helped and pilgrims can rest. The map also focuses on Benedict of Nursia and the rule Ora et labora, as well as the work of scribes and the preservation of sacred texts.
