Notes

“The upheaval of the early middle ages ended not in a collapse of civilization but in its renewal. And the first two early medieval centuries set the patterns for how this renewal would later take place in western and Eastern Europe.”
Chronology
486 AD- Clovis leads Frankish confederacy against Romans and rival Germanic invaders in Gaul
527-565 AD- Reign of Emperor Justinian in the Eastern empire
542 AD- Plague hits Egypt, then spreads throughout the Mediterranean area and much of western Europe
568 AD- Lombard's conquer most of northern Italy
570-632 AD- Life of Muhammad
595 AD- Missionaries sent by the people begin to convert the pagans of England
711 AD- Muslim invasion of Spain
800 AD- Slaves occupy almost all of eastern Europe
