Why The Dark Ages Are So Misunderstood
In this Timeline documentary, Waldemar Januszczak challenges the idea that the Dark Ages were a time of barbarism and stagnation. Part of a landmark series, it argues that the era after Rome's fall was far more creative and sophisticated than its reputation suggests. Through art and evidence, it overturns centuries of misunderstanding. For lovers of history, it is a fresh and persuasive reappraisal of a misjudged age. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
