=Middle Ages History=

====The real man who set the basics and the foundation of the Carolingian Renaissance was a simple and un-sophisticated man. He went by the name of Benedict of Nursia, or commonly now known as Saint Benedict. He lived from 480 to 547 common era, dying of natural causes at the age of 67. Saint Benedict was a revered figure in the Roman Catholic Church as a patron saint. One of Saint Benedicts most famous acts was the founding of the Twelve Communities for the monks at Subicao. The Community was around 60kms east of the Roman Capital. Saint Benedict is also famous of his 'Rule of Saint Benedict'====

====Saint Benedict, born in the city of Nursia, was the son of a Roman noble. Historians suggest and agree that the Benedict was entangled in a messy romance issue. Fearing for his spirit, Benedict fled the city and became a hermit. He took his old nurse with him to become his servant. He settled down in Enfide, near a church to Saint Peter. Ironically, on the way to Enfide, he meet an old monk called Romanus of Subiaco.====

====However, in the end it proved that Saint Benedict’s rule was too much for the fellow monks. The monks first tried to poison the water he drank for supper, but after Benedict prayed a blessing over the cup, the cup shattered. The monks attempted to poison Benedict again afterwards; they poisoned the bread he ate! When he prayed a blessing over the bread, a raven swooped in and carried the loaf away.====
