The High Middle Ages was the period of European history that commenced around 1000 and lasted until around 1250.
The three centuries between 1000 and 1300 witnessed a doubling of Europe’s population. Life expectancies were propbably not much higher than age 25 around 1000, but closer to 35 to 1300.
By 1250 (the population of Europe is estimated 60-90 million), the robust population increase had greatly benefited the European economy, which reached levels that would not be seen again in some areas until the 19th century.
