Summary

To what extent did a major social change such as the fall of the Western Roman Empire affect the course of history? Why does historiography tend to extend the term Late Antiquity to the High Middle Ages?

Description

Ruptures and changes, social history and cultural history, written sources and archaeological sources. Medieval historian Chris Wickham will discuss these questions and how it is essential to compare different narratives and establish a dialogue in order to understand the history of the Late Middle Ages.
