Depsite their genocide and brutality, and despite bringing Christianity and straight roads to Britain, it can be conceded that the Romans did have a marked impact on the little isle of kingdoms in the early ADs. 'Civilisation' is often quoted as a Roman legacy, and so, when their colonial rule ended in AD 410, contemporary society assumes the Dark Ages were a result of the loss of administrative and Christian rule, with the original inhabitants of Britain returning to their pagan roots and losing the civil way of life that had been the Roman standard for 350 years in ancient Britain.

Prominent historian and author, Michael Wood, refutes these traditional beliefs of Dark Age Britain in his book In Search of the Dark Ages and sheds light on what was actually fascinating period in British history.

The Beginning of British Civilisation

The book begins in AD 43 when the Roman legions first swarmed across the land and looks at British response to that, focusing on one person in particular – Boudica. Each subsequent chapter then pinpoints the prominent personalities that impacted the British Isles throughout the six decades of Dark Ages: King Aurthur, Offa, Alfred the Great, Athelstan, Eric Bloodaxe, Ethelred the Unready, and finally William the Conqueror. Within each chapter, Wood discusses the myths and legends of each protagonist, then looks at them objectively with facts gleaned from archaeological digs and historical documents that have survived and been studied throughout the centuries.
