Secrets Of The Dark Ages: The Barbarians' Forgotten Empires | Our History

Richard Rudgley goes in search of evidence of the barbarians of the Dark Ages, people whose names have for 1500 years been bywords for mindless brutality: the Huns, the Vandals, the Goths. It is a journey that takes us all across Europe, from the cold northern seas off Scandinavia to the heart of the Great Hungarian plain - and Richard discovers the secrets of forgotten empires, and of mighty clashes throughout Europe, as hordes of migrants flooded into the Roman world across the Rhine, as Asiatic nomads swarmed over the Alps, as African Berber armies struck deep into Spain.
