R. H. C. Davis was one of the foremost historians of his generation, and his book ‘A History of Medieval Europe: From Constantine the Great to Saint Louis’ has been considered for fifty years as the clearest, most authoritative, and accessible introduction to medieval history.
In his research on the Dark Ages, Davis explores the impact of the barbarian invasions on the Christianized empire of Constantine and the gradual emergence of a new social, economic, and political order. He examines the papal Church, the rise of Islam, and the rise and fall of the Frankish Empire.
Subsequently, Davis guides the reader from the Saxon Empire to an overview of the economic situation of Europe in the mid-13th century, covering along the way the spread of monasticism, the papal reform, the Crusades, and feudal monarchy.
This third edition, revised by R. I. Moore, reflects the significant progress that has been made in our understanding of this specific historical period, with new maps and appendices that include recent interpretations. The book is aimed at both the academic community and the general public.
