  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book II

    The Triumph of Christianity

    by T.M. Lindsay, H.M. Gwatkin, C.H. Turner ...
    THE old or official religions of Greece and of Rome had lost most of their power long before Constantine first declared that Christianity was henceforth to be recognized as a religio licita and then proceeded to bestow the Imperial favor on the faith which his predecessors had persecuted. Hellenism had destroyed their influence over the cultivated classes, and other religions, coming from the East ... Read more

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book III

    The Barbarian Invasions of the Western Roman Empire

    by Norman Baynes, Martin Bang, M. Manitius, Ludwig Schmidt, Christian Pfister, T. Peisker ...
    THE race which played the leading part in history after the break-up of the Roman Empire was the race known as the Teutons. Their early history is shrouded in obscurity, an obscurity which only begins to be lightened about the end of the second century of our era. Such information as we have we owe to Greeks and Romans; and what they give us is almost exclusively contemporary history, and the few ... Read more

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book I

    From the Rise of Constantine to the Death of Julian

    by H.M. Gwatkin, J.S. Reid, Norman Baynes ...
    THE first question that has to be considered in laying down the plan of a Medieval History is, Where to begin? Where shall we draw the line that separates it from Ancient History? Some would fix it at the death of Domitian, others at that of Marcus. Some would come down to Constantine, to the death of Theodosius, to the great barbarian invasion of 406, or to the end of the Western Empire in 476; ... Read more

    Justinian and the Imperial Restoration in the West

    by Charles Diehl, H.J. Roby, J.B. Bury-020edt ...
    ON 9 July 518 the Emperor Anastasius died, leaving nephews only as his heirs. The succession was therefore quite undecided. An obscure intrigue brought the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard, the comes excubitorum Justin, to the throne. This adventurer had found his way to Constantinople from the mountains of his native Illyricum in search of fortune, and now became, at the age of almost seventy ... Read more

    The Arab-Byzantine Wars and the Early Middle Ages

    by T. Peisker, E.W. Brooks, Camile Jullian, F.E. Warren, W.J. Corbett ...
    The Arabs first invaded Asia Minor during the commotions of 641. In 642 a plan of Valentine for a combined attack on them was frustrated by his defeat; but Theodore and Procopius penetrated as far as Batnae, and an Armenian force occupied Amida and nearly reached Edessa before they were routed. In 643, Valentine having returned to Constantinople, the enemy again entered Asia Minor, and Arabissus ... Read more

    The Carolingian Empire and the Rise of France

    by Rene Poupardin, Louis Halphen ...
    IT was at his winter home at Doué, early in February 814, that Louis of Aquitaine received the news of his father's death, which had been immediately sent to him by his sisters and the magnates who had espoused his cause. It is a difficult matter to discern through the self-interested encomiums of biographers and the calumnies set afloat by political opponents, the real character of the man who ... Read more

    The Eastern Roman Empire from Leo III to the Macedonian Dynasty

    by Charles Diehl, E.W. Brooks, Albert Vogt, Frederic Macler, J.B. Bury-020edt ...
    THE history of the Byzantine Empire under the rule of the Isaurian dynasty is one of the periods in the prolonged evolution of the monarchy least easy of comprehension. The work of the sovereigns usually called the Iconoclast Emperors has been, in fact, recorded for us practically only by opponents or victims, and their impassioned reports have obviously no claim to be considered strictly ...

    The Holy Roman Empire Triumphant

    by C.W. Previte-Orton, Austin Poole, Edwin Holthouse, Caroline Ryley ...
    “THE future of the realm”, Conrad is said to have declared with his dying words, “lies with the Saxons”, and he bade his brother Everard to bear the royal insignia to Henry, the Saxon Duke, as the one man capable of restoring the glory of the German name. The union of Frank and Saxon had given the throne to Conrad on the death of Louis the Child; the same alliance was responsible for the ... Read more

    The Decline and Fall of the Eastern Roman Empire

    by William Miller, Louis Brehier, Herbert Loewe, Edwin Pears, Paul Collinet, Charles Diehl ...
    For over a thousand years, from the end of the fourth century to the middle of the fifteenth, the Byzantine Empire was the centre of a civilization equal to that of any age in brilliancy, certainly the most brilliant known to the Middle Ages, and possibly even the only real civilization which prevailed in Europe between the close of the fifth century and the beginning of the eleventh. While the ... Read more

  • The African Wars

    by Julius Caesar ...
    Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) is one of the most famous men in history, and his name was used to denote the status of emperor throughout European countries like Italy, Germany, and Russia nearly 2,000 years after his famous assassination. But before he won the civil war against Pompey the Great and ended the Roman Republic permanently, he became a man of power and fame in modern day France, leading ... Read more

  • The Empire of Alexander the Great

    by John Mahaffy ...
    Most of the great changes in the world's history come about gradually and wise men can see them coming, for it is very hard to run counter to the nature of average men, and all great advances and degradations of society are the result of persistent causes; but a few times, since our records have been kept, there has arisen a single genius, who has done what no number of lesser men could accomplish ...

  • The Military Orders of the Middle Ages

    by Frederick Woodhouse ...
    In a rude and primitive condition of mankind might constitute right and strength and daring give rank. The aristocracy, therefore, will consist of the warriors while the weak, the young, the old and the women will occupy an inferior position. An uncivilized race is always at war. A system of mutual fear, hatred and injury seems to be the normal condition of savage man, in all ages and in every ... Read more
