Opis

Drawing on a wealth of new material, this book aims to transform readers' ideas about Europe in the Dark Ages. From the collapse of the Roman imperial system to the establishment of the new European dynastic states, the book explores hidden achievements and eras of peace, as well as civil disorder, invasion and mayhem.

Recenzje

A work of tremendous authority and breadth. With this book, as with Charlemagne's empire, one feels that an extraordinary range of things have been brought together Noel Malcolm Sunday Telegraph
