A Tour of "the Dark Ages" | Charlemagne, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons | MEGA-COMPILATION DOCUMENTARY

This mega-compilation documentary gathers together all my videos thus far about the Early Middle Ages set together in chronological order. 19th century historians referred to the early medieval era as “the Dark Ages.” Today, historians reject that term. The period after the fall of the western Roman Empire was indeed an era of strife, fierce battles and conquering kings, but it was also an era of growth, artistic achievement, and the rise of new civilizations. This is the Early Middle Ages, roughly, from the sixth century to the start of the eleventh century. It was the era of the early Rashidun conquests, of Charles Martel and the ascent of the great empire of Charlemagne. It was the period of the harrowing Viking invasions, of Alfred the Great and the Anglo-Saxons of England, and the rise of the Normans.

I have a Medieval History final today and this has been an impossible class because the history is very multifarious and complex and the professor has the thickest Italian accent I have ever heard.

    I'm just beginning with this video but it has been so enlightening I cannot put it into words. I gotta be honest, as a person who was born in a Central American country, early medieval history is limited if not inexistent in our public education. You grow up with some idea of where are some places located, and most of it is because of biblical readings when you were a child and you were learning how to read, you would even take up the Bible and read it with emotion, and also information from movies, series, books, videogames, sports and other types of media. It was not until last year that I started playing the videogame Crusader Kings 3, that I was exposed to medieval Europe on a deeper level. I understood the difference between the Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantium or the Byzantine Empire. I also realized that Turkey was not in Africa or Arabia and Croatia was closer to the Vatican than I had ever considered it possible. And the more you play this game the more you discover, and the more you crave for knowing what really happened in some of the places you get to interact with, or to know the real story behind one of the characters of the game you find yourself declaring alliances with or warring against. I will keep watching this for sure!

    @@EssentiallyCamada Thanks to you again! You can certainly check it out, it is a strategy game based on creating a dynasty that would last for generations, or using the existing ones and trying to change their historical course. Thanks to this game I've searched for history related to the Carolingians. The earliest start date on the game is 867 so by then the Al-Andalus dominance is already in place, and actually there is an expansion called The Fate of Iberia in which you get to participate, and if you're lucky enough, you can end the Iberian struggle for the peninsula. This game may seem boring for those wanting epic graphics or warfare animations, as the game centers more in administration and strategy, but still is a very good and accurate game, way much more than other medieval games I've played before.

    Great video, I am learning a lot here. BUT what I appreciate the most is your narration, which sounds like a lovely real person as opposed to AI. I am unable to listen to the AI in many videos because I just hate robots talking to me as if they are sentient creatures. So thanks for taking the time and effort to do such a lovely job here!

    What’s the name of that guitar tune that plays frequently through the entire show? It’s stuck in my head and I have to find it! It’s slow, melodic, and in A minor. Edit: it sounds like “ Yonder Hill and Dale” which is added in the video description but listening to the track it doesn’t have the guitar part in it 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I'm always interested in the logistics of history. For example, how did these large groups of men move around from land to land? How did they find food for their horses, for themselves? Just by raiding villages? There couldn't have always been a village nearby to plunder. How did they keep themselves clean and the men from fighting amongst one another? Clean their clothes, patch up wounds etc....fascinating.

    I have always wondered this as well. I know just about every army had certain men jusr for foraging for food, supplies, etc of the lands they were in. But I believe many of the actual military men would also help in foraging. I’m sure they also had some form of supply lines with regular caravan shipments of goods etc they would bring. I know they would do that for the attacking army during a siege of a city. So I assume they would have some form of this supply line at almost all times
