Early Medieval Europe
This Assignment is about Medieval European history which is majorly known as Dark
ages or pre-renaissance phases. When the Asian countries were busy creating new inventions,
Europe was living in a dark age. An age that saw the downfall of the Great Roman Empire
and led to the emergence of the new Byzantine Empire in eastern Europe (Crashcourse,
2012).
Many parts of Europe were busy in fighting during this phase. I will be dividing this
phase into 3 phases which would give a slightly detailed view of it and would be helpful to
understand.
The first phase saw the rise of Christianity in Europe after the Roman Emperor
Constantine, who was the first Christian Emperor in the history of the Roman Empire started
promoting Christianity and destroying the old roman temples. He started appointing
Christians in his courts and gave them favors and this led to the rise of Christianity in this
period. moreover, there was a shifting of Roman Capital from Rome to Constantinopole
(Modern Day Istanbul, Turkey)
The Second phase witnessed the infighting amongst the European barbarians against
the Roman Empire, it did see the downfall of Rome into the hands of Huns the barbarians.
There was a long time that during this phase people were not sure in Europe whether they
would return alive if the step out of there house (History Matters, 2018). It was truly a phase
which is to be considered of the darkest one when the common people in Europe had no
security. This phase also remarks about the initial establishments of the present European
countries like France, Germany, Spain, etc out of the barbarian tribes which settled and ruled
in these regions as monarchs.
