About the book

This three-volume set brings together historical chronicles from the early medieval period. The works provide firsthand or near-contemporary accounts of warfare, kingship, religion and the changing societies that emerged after the collapse of Roman authority in western Europe. Together, they offer an important window into the world traditionally called the Dark Ages.
