The Dark Ages

Only on The History Channel

Sunday March 4th 9PM/8C

After the fall of Rome and before the rebirth of the Renaissance, Europe survived six centuries of continental revolution characterized by famine, plague and bloodshed – a time known as the Dark Ages. At its worst, life in the Dark Ages was miserable, brutish and — for the fortunate — short. But through the darkness shone scattered rays of light, men and women who tended the flame of progress while the world around them descended into chaos. Those points of light brought about the footprint of modern Europe both politically and culturally. The two-hour special THE DARK AGES explores the unprecedented period spanning the fall of Rome and Europe’s “medieval awakening.”

The History Channel does it again with another well produced, informative television event entitled The Dark Ages.  The series looks at this time in history when the "civilized" world stands still in terms of progress and regresses in terms of humanity.  However, at the same time, the spiritual world had been enlightened.

This is not like the PBS specials of years ago.  The same elements of information and pictures are still the mainstay of the documentary, however, it is produced almost as a movie, in such a manner as the recent Building and Empire series was done.  This television special tells you a story of the Dark Ages through sight, sound and special effects -- not just the history, but a feeling of what it was like to be living during those times.  It looks at the politics and the people and how power, religion and nature has affected them for six hundred years.

Some of the topical highlights of The Dark Ages include:

• The first sacking of Rome in 410 AD by outsiders in over 700 years

• Clovis, the King of the Franks converts to Christianity in 496 AD

• The last Emperor of Rome, Justinian with the backing of his wife Theodora, overcomes a rebellion during his quest to reunite the old Empire in 533 AD

• Sickness and death reach the shores of Constantinople in 542 AD

• The repelling of Moors in 732 AD by the Christians under the leadership of Charles "The Hammer" Martel

• Vikings overtake the British Isles in 793 AD and are eventually repelled by King Alfred the Great for good

• Charlemagne begins to shine light on the Dark Ages in the 9th Century AD

• The "end" of the Dark Ages with the beginning of the Crusades in 1095 AD called on by Pope Urban II.
