Product Information
From the Publisher
The Fall of Rome
Learn how Europe slipped into the Dark Ages and how the Christian Church managed to keep the people united to some extent during these difficult times. This age saw wars and fierce battles, relentless pillaging, deadly diseases, and the rise and epic fall of many empires.
The Viking Era
Experience what it was like to live during the era of the Vikings and read about the incredible adventures that led them to discover a distant land some five hundred years before one of the most prominent explorers in history.
The Polarization of Christianity
Learn what exactly led to the Great Schism and how two opposing beliefs caused the church to split in two. Also, read about the bloody Crusades and how the Crusaders’ purpose became less than noble as time passed.
The End of a Long-lasting Empire
And the rise of many in its stead.
Rome was a mighty empire, but when it fell, life, for the most part, went on as normal. Although many see the Dark Ages as a time of poor education and unenlightenment, this was not the case.
Explore the rise of mighty rulers such as Alfred the Great and Charlemagne. Learn how the Christian religion swept through the lands and how the clashes with Muslim caliphates led to deadly battles and the loss and acquisition of territories.
The Dark Ages gave rise to perhaps the greatest movement humanity has ever seen: the Renaissance. But how did this period of stagnant cultural advancement lead to such a monumental time in history?
What are you waiting for? Come with us on a thrilling journey into the past and see how the Dark Ages impacted the world!
