         Robert Grosseteste, who was a bishop is the Roman Catholic Church in the early 1200's (A.D.), was probably the most important figure in the middle ages, because of his wonderful ideas.  He had ideas that the secrets of the world could be discovered from laws that God had powerfully set in motion.  He wanted to explain why things happened the way they did.  Instead of just doing an experiment, he wanted to understand the reasons behind the facts.  Brightly, he taught other scientists to observe and explain why things happened when the experiment was going on. He was the first to explain and use the scientific method.  Robert was one of the most important figures in all of the middle ages.
