The Early Middle Ages

We often call them the "Dark Ages," the era which spanned the decline and fall of Rome's western empire and lingered for centuries, a time when the Ancient World was ending and Europe had seemingly vanished into ignorance and shadow, its literacy and urban life declining, its isolation from the rest of the world increasing. It was a time of decline, with the empire fighting to defend itself against an endless onslaught of attacks from all directions: the Vikings from the North, the Huns and other Barbarians from the East, the Muslim empire from the south. It was a time of death and disease, with outbreaks of plague ripping through populations both urban and rural. It was a time of fear, when religious persecution ebbed and flowed with the whims of those in power.
