Description

This textbook provides an examination of the opening centuries of the second millennium in Europe. It aims to bring this period of dramatic social, political, economic, cultural, religious and military change alive to the general reader. William Chester Jordan presents the early medieval period as a lost world, far removed from our current age, which had risen from the rubble of the Roman Empire, but from which we are cut off by the great plagues and famines that ended it.
