The Dark Ages Illuminated (OLLI)


Course number : HS180   

« back to classes page

When the Roman Empire collapsed in 476 AD, western Europe was plunged into a “dark age.” In this class we will discuss what happened, barbarian invasions, decline in literacy, the worst year to be alive, the rise of Christianity, knights and castles, and much more. We will also try to answer the question: Did the Roman Empire really collapse, or did society become the medieval world?
