In 476, the Western Roman Empire fell. Vast territories of the Western Mediterranean fell into the hands of the Vandals, Visigoths, Franks and other tribes that the Romans used to call barbarians. The Roman Empire, as it was known to the ancient world, was no more. But, even with the decline of power, Europe was not plunged into darkness. There was still the Eastern Roman Empire, under the patronage of the emperors flourished arts, sciences and crafts, improved the legal system. On the wreckage of the Western Roman Empire emerged new powerful states - the kingdoms of the Franks, Ostgoths and Visigoths.
British military historian Charles Oman sheds light on the period called the Dark Ages, comprehensively describes the personalities and reveals the character of the rulers - from Theodoric the Great, who ruled in Italy in the early VI century, to Charlemagne, the first emperor of the Franks. The historian vividly shows how the conflicts of the early Middle Ages laid the foundations for modern Europe.
