Early Medieval (c.410–1066) (jan 1, 410 – jan 1, 1066)

Description:

The six and a half centuries between the end of Roman rule and the Norman Conquest are among the most important in English history. This long period is also one of the most challenging to understand – which is why it has traditionally been labelled the ‘Dark Ages’.

Yet a kingdom of England emerged in these centuries, and with it a new ‘English’ identity and language.
