Michael Tunnicliffe<\/p>\n
After its sack by Alaric in 410 Rome briefly recovered, but was sacked again by the Vandals in 455 and the last Emperor was deposed in 476. In place of the Roman Empire a new political reality emerged with a series of so called \u201cbarbarian kingdoms\u201d ruled by Visigoths, Vandals, Ostrogoths, Franks and Lombards. In Spain after 711 Muslim forces took control of most of Iberia. Yet in the east the \u201cNew Rome\u201d of Constantinople and its Byzantine Empire survived, and even attempted re-conquest under Justinian in the 6th<\/sup> century. This course will examine a period once dubbed The Dark Ages but now styled the Early Medieval Period to see the story of the European history from the end of the old Rome to the Coronation of Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor in the year 800.<\/p>\n Recommended reading (for publication in brochure):<\/strong><\/p>\n Bertrand Lan\u00e7on 2000 Rome in Late Antiquity, <\/em>Edinburgh University Press Day<\/strong>: Thursdays\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Time<\/strong>: 13.45-15.45 GMT\/BST Virtual Learning Environment.\u00a0<\/strong>Zoom<\/p>\n Series:<\/p>\n Please send you bookings to:<\/p>\n Michael Tunnicliffe 5 St George\u2019s Way, Northwich, CW9 8XG, 01606 42116\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0mtunni@sky.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael Tunnicliffe After its sack by Alaric in 410 Rome briefly recovered, but was sacked again by the Vandals in 455 and the last Emperor was deposed in 476.
