Chronicle Medieval History

Were The Dark Ages Really That Dark? | King Arthur's Britain (2021x13)

Data de estreia: Set 08, 2021

Francis Pryor examines the relics of the Dark Ages to build a fuller picture of this much-maligned era. Popular belief has always held that the departure of the Romans led to barbarism in Britain, but archaeological finds have shed light on a cultured, literate society that embraced the growing Romanised Christian religion and embarked on a profitable trading relationship with the Byzantine Empire. With new archaeological evidence Francis discovers a far more interesting story.
