The Mysterious Dark Ages (HD Ancient Middle Ages History Documentary)

Duration: 90:45
Updated: 21 Jan 2015

The Mysterious Dark Ages (HD Ancient Middle Ages History Documentary) 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.

Holding it Straight: Sexual Orientation in the Middle Ages (22 Oct 2013)

Duration: 39:38
Updated: 25 Oct 2013

Dr Bob Mills, UCL History of Art Historians tend to be reticent about applying the phrase 'sexual orientation' to periods before the nineteenth century, but should we be so quick to dismiss the concept? Focusing on depictions of virgins and sodomites -- two seemingly opposing categories -- this talk explores how medieval encounters with sex were shaped by concepts of space and orientation.

02. The Crisis of the Third Century and the Diocletianic Reforms

Duration: 48:37
Updated: 05 Apr 2012

The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210) Professor Freedman outlines the problems facing the Roman Empire in the third century. The Persian Sassanid dynasty in the East and various Germanic tribes in the West threatened the Empire as never before. Internally, the Empire struggled with the problem of succession, an economy wracked by inflation, and the decline of the local elite which had once held it together. Having considered these issues, Professor Freedman then moves on to the reforms enacted under Diocletian to stabilize the Empire. He attempted to solve the problem of succession by setting up a system of joint rule called the Tetrarchy, to stabilize the economy through tax reform, and to protect the frontiers through militarization. Although many of his policies failed--some within his lifetime--Diocletian nevertheless saved the Roman Empire from collapse. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction and Logistics 01:35 - Chapter 2.

06. Transformation of the Roman Empire

Duration: 49:22
Updated: 05 Apr 2012

The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210) The Roman Empire in the West collapsed as a political entity in the fifth century although the Eastern part survived the crisis.. Professor Freedman considers this transformation through three main questions: Why did the West fall apart -- because of the external pressure of invasions or the internal problems of institutional decline? Who were these invading barbarians? Finally, does this transformation mark a gradual shift or is it right to regard it as a cataclysmic end of civilization? Professor Freedman, as a moderate catastrophist, argues that this period marked the end of a particular civilization rather than the end of civilization in general. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction 05:43 - Chapter 2. Catastrophe 18:43 - Chapter 3. The Roman Army and the Visigoths 28:25 - Chapter 4. Another Kind of Barbarian: The Huns 34:19 - Chapter 5.

09. The Reign of Justinian

Duration: 48:47
Updated: 05 Apr 2012

The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210) Professor Freedman opens by discussing why historians use the writings of Procopius and Gregory of Tours, a sixth century bishop whose history of the Merovingian kings is discussed the following week. Procopius's three works -- The Wars, the adulatory Buildings, and the invective Secret History -- are the best sources on the reign of the Emperor Justinian. Under Justinian and his wife Theodora, the Roman Empire reached its height as it reclaimed territories in North Africa and Europe previously lost to the Vandals, Visigoths and Ostrogoths.. However, defeats in war accompanied by heavy taxation led to civil unrest. In addition to the wars, Justinian commissioned a number of large projects like the building of the Hagia Sophia and the organization of Roman law in the Corpus Iuris Civilis. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Primary Sources: Procopius and Gregory of Tours 02:19 - Chapter 2. The Emperor Justinian 08:42 - Chapter 3. Procopius as a Source on Justinian 16:28 - Chapter 4.

12. Britain and Ireland

Duration: 44:15
Updated: 05 Apr 2012

The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210) In this lecture, Professor Freedman considers the importance of the British Isles in the early Middle Ages, both in their own right and as an example of a post-Roman frontier society. In the wake of the fifth century Roman withdrawal, England experienced "radical economic simplification." However, England's conversion to Christianity beginning at the end of the sixth century brought about a flourishing written culture and Latin learning. Ireland experienced a similar cultural flowering, although it had converted to Christianity centuries earlier. It had never been colonized by the Romans, and the Irish Church was less hierarchical, more decentralized, and placed less importance on bishops than did the Roman. The conversion of England under the competeing influences of Rome and ireland was thus not just a conflict between Christianity and paganism, but also between two administrative styles of Christianity. Professor Freedman ends the lecture with a few remarks on the cultural accomplishments of the British Isles. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction to the British Isles 22:32 - Chapter 2. The Conversion of England 36:30 - Chapter 3. The Conversion of Ireland and the Irish Church 45:34 - Chapter 4.
