  3. The Dark Age Defining a dark time! Click me • The dark age is a period of time within the Medieval Era from 500 CE/AD to 1300 CE/AD • The dark age begins with the “fall of the Roman Empire” was actually a gradual decline from 400 to 700 CE/AD, and ends around 1000 CE/AD • This time can be called either the “Early Middle Ages” or the “Dark Age” There’s a lot more of this coming up!

  4. When things go bad …… They go very bad! Click Here • The absence of the Roman Empire led to difficultly for people to find a cohesive unity as an integrated society. What does this mean? • There was a breakdown of law and order (now under local control), • There was economic turmoil (trade was stifled or stopped altogether) • There was a significant cultural decline (without trade there can be no cultural diffusion or exchanging of ideas) • There was a lack of institutional protection (no national government to protect the people; only protection by the local leader) Cultural diffusion? Not so much in the Middle Age

  5. The Germanic Tribes Click me

  6. Romans verses Germanics Tribes(How did the Romans do things?) • They lived an “urban life” or life in cities • Their loyalty was to Rome as led by an emperor • There were no laws of succession (who got what when someone died) • There was an established legal system (the twelve tables) Click Here

  7. Romans verses Germanics Tribes(How did the Germanic Tribes do things?) • They did not live in an established urban center • Tribal loyalty was to the chiefs; chiefs were selected via familial succession and military leaders by merit) • There were laws of succession (every man’s child is his heir; laws set forth partition of property in complex situations) • There was trial by ordeal (survival equals innocence – think witch trials) Click Here It’s not called Witchduck Road for nothing!
