    This process of history may be said to have entered on its effective stage in the West with Alaric's invasion of Italy. But it had been present, as a potentiality and a menace, for many years before Alaric heard the voice that drew him steadily towards Rome. The frontier war along the limes was as old as the second century. The pressure of the population of the German forests upon the Roman world ... Read more

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book III

    The Barbarian Invasions of the Western Roman Empire

    by Norman Baynes, Martin Bang, M. Manitius, Ludwig Schmidt, Christian Pfister, T. Peisker ...
    THE race which played the leading part in history after the break-up of the Roman Empire was the race known as the Teutons. Their early history is shrouded in obscurity, an obscurity which only begins to be lightened about the end of the second century of our era. Such information as we have we owe to Greeks and Romans; and what they give us is almost exclusively contemporary history, and the few ... Read more

    by Charles Diehl, H.J. Roby, J.B. Bury-020edt ...

    Learning and Literature in the Early Middle Ages

    by Louis Halphen, Paul Vinogradoff, W.R. Lethaby, Montague James ...
    The alluring dream of Charles the Great has vanished; after his death no temporal prince was found capable of carrying on his work, and it fell to ruins. Nevertheless, the root idea which had inspired him still persisted: the idea of the unity of the Christian world, bound together and grouped round a single head, ready to give battle to the infidel, and to undertake the conversion of the ...

    From the Rise of Constantine to the Death of Julian

    by H.M. Gwatkin, J.S. Reid, Norman Baynes ...
    THE first question that has to be considered in laying down the plan of a Medieval History is, Where to begin? Where shall we draw the line that separates it from Ancient History? Some would fix it at the death of Domitian, others at that of Marcus. Some would come down to Constantine, to the death of Theodosius, to the great barbarian invasion of 406, or to the end of the Western Empire in 476; ... Read more

    The Viking Invasions, the Kingdom of England, and the Western Caliphate

    by Allen Mawer, Rafael Altamira, William Corbett ...
    THE term Viking is a derivative of the Old Norse Vik, a creek, bay or fiord, and means one who haunts such an opening and uses it as a base whence raids may be made on the surrounding country. The word is now commonly applied to those Norsemen, Danes and Swedes who harried Europe from the eighth to the eleventh centuries, and in such phrases as ‘the Viking age’, ‘Viking civilization’, is used in a ...

    The Prophet Mohammed and the Islamic Conquest

    by A.A. Bevan, C.H. Becker ...
    OUR knowledge of Mahomet, his life and his teaching, is derived entirely from documents which have been handed down by Muslims; no contemporary non-Muslim account is extant, and the testimony of later non-Muslim writers has as little claim to consideration as the statements in the Talmud concerning Christ. Among our authorities the Koran, for obvious reasons, occupies the foremost place. The ... Read more
