The Making of the Middle Ages: An Atlas of Europe | John Haywood & Michael Wood

Medieval Europe remains a mystery to many, yet the relative dearth of information cannot mask its crucial importance in history. Often mischaracterized as a time of darkness and decline, the period from AD 476 to 1000 was marked by turmoil, rebirth and transformation.

From the towering legacy of Constantine to the iron rule of Charlemagne, and the Huns, Goths and Saxons to the Slavs, Franks, Vikings, Rus’, Bulgars and Magyars, John Haywood brings to life the dynamic story of how a new Europe emerged from the ashes of the crumbling Roman Empire. This is not a tale of decline, but a saga of endurance, reinvention and remarkable strength.
