Description:
At its height in the second century A.D., the Roman Empire was the beacon of learning, trade, power and prosperity in the western world.But the once-powerful Rome--rotten to the core by the fifth century--lay open to barbarian warriors who came in wave after wave of invasion, slaughtering, stealing, and ultimately, settling. As chaos replaced culture, Europe was beset by famine, plague, persecutions, and a state of war that was so persistent it was only rarely interrupted by peace. THE DARK AGES profiles those who battled to shape the future, from the warlords whose armies threatened to case the demise of European society, like Alaric, Charles the Hammer, and Clovis; to the men and women who valiantly tended the flames of justice, knowledge, and innovation including Charlemagne, St. Benedict, Empress Theodora, and other brave souls who fought for peace and enlightenment. It was in the shadows of this turbulent millennium that the seeds of modern civilization were sown.

Rating: - The Dark Ages
A very useful review of the times and famous people involved in that, for many, mysterious era of history.
Rating: - A little disappointed...
As I stated in the title, after watching this documentary I stayed little disappointed. Only good thing about it, that this is only available documentary about early middle ages that exist in English. If not, it would receive two. Anyway the beginning was promising, the first problems began with Justinian and cheap acting. After that things went worse with portrayal of Charlemagne, it was more said about his love affairs than his campaigns and renovation of Europe. Then I left stunned - there wasn't ... Read More
