The sacking of the once mighty, and in 410, ruined Rome by the barbarians marked the end of the former era and the beginning of a thousand-year deep transformation. In a compelling narrative replete with famous names from St. Augustine and Attila to the prophet Mohammed and Eleanor of Aquitaine, Dan Jones explores the history of the Middle Ages and accompanies readers on a journey through emerging Europe, the great capitals of late Antiquity, and the influential cities of the Islamic West. The medieval world was shaped by powerful forces that are still relevant today: climate change, pandemics, mass migration and technological revolutions. It was a time when the great European nations were born, the main Western systems of law and government were codified, the Christian Church became a powerful institution and regulator of Western public morality, and art, architecture, philosophical research and scientific thought experienced periods of revolutionary change. The West was rebuilt on the ruins of the Roman Empire and emerged from a state of crisis to dominate the world. Every sphere of human life and activity has experienced transformations.
