TTC - The Early Middle Ages - Philip Daileader Format: MP3 Bitrate: 64 Kbps In his new course on The Early Middle Ages—which traces a journey from Scandinavia across northern and central Europe to the farthest reaches of the Byzantine and Islamic empires—Professor Philip Daileader shares this new understanding of a world, no matter how far away and strange it may seem, that is "recognizably becoming our own." "In countless ways, seemingly obscure events and developments from the ‘Dark Ages’ impinge on the lives of people today. "This is true in the realm of religion, because our period saw the triumph of Christianity over paganism. … This is true in the realm of language, because every word that we speak and write—indeed, the handwriting that we use each and every day—is a product of the historical forces that we will study. … And this is true in the realm of family life, because many practices that existed in 300—such as polygyny, marriage within the kin group, and infanticide—are illegal today and were vanishing or completely gone by the year 1000." 24 Lectures 30 minutes / lecture 1 Long Shadows and the Dark Ages 2 Diocletian and the Crises of the Third Century 3 Constantine the Great—Christian Emperor 4 Pagans and Christians in the Fourth Century 5 Athletes of God 6 Augustine, Part One 7 Augustine, Part Two 8 Barbarians at the Gate 9 Franks and Goths 10 Arthur’s England 11 Justinian and the Byzantine Empire 12 The House of Islam 13 Rise of the Carolingians 14 Charlemagne 15 Carolingian Christianity 16 The Carolingian Renaissance 17 Fury of the Northmen 18 Collapse of the Carolingian Empire 19 The Birth of France and Germany 20 England in the Age of Alfred 21 Al-Andalus—Islamic Spain 22 Carolingian Europe—Gateway to the Middle Ages 23 Family Life—How Then Became Now 24 Long Shadows and the Dark Ages Revisited
