Early Middle Ages: Europe 300-1000
Course #: HIST 304
Description:
The Early Middle Ages covers the period when the great Western monarchies and the social structures and economy that supported them began and the enormous influence of Imperial Rome persisted. Additionally, interaction with a series of invaders as well as relations with the rapidly expanding Islamic states helped to shape Europe geographically, culturally and linguistically. History 304 examines these developments with close analysis of original documents and historiographical analysis.
