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. Chris Wickham is Chichele Professor of Medieval History at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of All Souls College.
