The Making Of The Middle Ages: Medieval Europe In Maps

This event has now sold out but please join our waiting list because sometimes tickets do become available, and if we have enough interest we will do our best to add a second event.Europe from AD 476 to 1000 remains a mystery to many and is often mischaracterised as a time of darkness and decline. In this illustrated talk,
however,John Haywood demonstrates how a new and more resilient continent ultimately emerged from the ashes of the crumbling Roman Empire. Using a series of specially commissioned maps, John traces the spread of Christianity, the emergence of Islam, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the birth of the leading nations of modern Europe to tell a tale not of decline, but of endurance, reinvention and
remarkable strength.
