The Charles Oman classic history of the Dark Ages, re-edited and 
re-formatted with new illustrations and maps designed specifically for a 
 superior reading experience on all Kindles and on the iPhone/iPad via 
the Kindle app. Names of Kings and major political/military 
persons have been updated and major typographical errors found with the 
previous Kindle edition have been corrected. Combined with copious 
illustrations, maps and images, the newly revised Dark Ages is essential 
 reading for anyone seeking to understand a critical period in Western 
history that saw the transition from Roman Imperial rule to 
conquest-driven tribal rule and, ultimately, a flowering into the High 
Middle Ages. Oman provides one of the best historical 
examinations and explanations about the period widely known as the Dark 
Ages, when the end of total and complex Roman Imperial rule over Europe 
and the Mediterranean collapsed, taking the institutions that provided 
so much cultural sophistication and stability with it. Very much a work 
about how Europe, and the Western Tradition, survived after the Roman 
collapse. The Dark Ages has also been split into three books, 
mainly for ease of reading; the original book published in 1893 was a 
massive tome that covered the period from 476 CE to 918 CE. This first 
book in the new edition covers the period from 476 CE to 603 CE: ODOACER AND THEODORIC 476-493 THEODORIC KING OF ITALY 493-526 THE EMPERORS AT CONSTANTINOPLE 476-527 CLOVIS I AND THE FRANKS IN GAUL 481-511 JUSTINIAN AND HIS WARS 528-540 JUSTINIAN 540-565 CE THE EARLIER FRANKISH KINGS 511-561 THE VISIGOTHS IN SPAIN 531-603
