After Rome Fell: The Dark Ages — What History Forgot | Sleep Story
Drift off to the centuries history forgot. When the Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 AD, what really happened? This episode explores the 500 years that followed — a period often dismissed as the 'Dark Ages' that was in fact a time of migration, new kingdoms, cultural transformation, and survival.
Covered: The fall of the Western Roman Empire, the successor kingdoms, the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and Franks, Byzantine continuity in the East, the spread of Christianity, early medieval culture, and the seeds of modern Europe.
