The History Channel really delivers in this awesome documentary on the history of The Shadowy Ages, the period between the Drop of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Middle Ages. It is generally remembered as a bleak period when civilization in the West teetered on the verge of total collapse and barbarian warlords fought with each other when they weren’t busy fighting Viking hordes, Muslim invaders, or Byzantine armies.

The Unlit Ages uses modern scholarship and high production values to recreate the period objective after the drop of Rome in the leisurely 5th century A.D. The Roman Empire in the West had collapsed and a ragtag band of barbarians made up of Goths, Vandals, Franks, and Lombards wage bloody warfare against each other to divide up the pieces of the once-great Empire. In the East, the remnants of the Empire live on under the Emperor Justinian who becomes obsessed with recapturing Rome and reconquering the West. Meanwhile, the Franks, easily the most great of the post-Roman tribes, have begun to place a gigantic kingdom under the Merovingian dynasty, led by King Clovis, whose conversion to Christianity helps find its position in the history of Europe. The documentary then touches on the Viking raids along the English and Irish coasts, the desperate struggle to crush the invading Muslim armies that threaten to seize all of Spain and France, and ultimately, the consolidation of Western Europe as fraction of the Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne.
This is probably one of the best History Channel DVDs out there and shows that a pleasurable amount of time and wretchedness went into execute this production. While of course it cannot enlighten every detail of the nearly 500 year period of the Unlit Ages, it does a valid job of providing an worthy introduction to the subject. It is one which recommends itself to anyone who claims to be a student of history.

I usually bask in the re-enactment-type specials on the History Channel, but this one was a notch above anything they’ve ever done before. The production values were absolutely cinematic: the photography was beautiful, and the procure was so graceful that I hope they do out a soundtrack for this expose, or at least offer the music as an iTunes download. This indicate never drags, and crams an extraordinary amount of history into its 90 minutes of airtime. At the destroy, it feels very legend, like you’ve traveled on this hump with someone. Definitely worth the capture, or at the very least, the rental.
