Bestselling historian and broadcaster Tom Holland gives a thrilling panoramic account of the birth of the new Western Europe in the year 1000



''An exhilarating sweep across European history either side of the year 1000; riveting'' ALLAN MASSIE, SPECTATOR

''I relished the blood and thunder narrative - the work of a great storyteller at his best'' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, EVENING STANDARD

''A splendid, highly coloured canvas'' NORMAN STONE, GUARDIAN

In AD 900, few would have guessed that the splintering kingdoms of Europe were candidates for future greatness. Hemmed in by implacable enemies and an ocean, there were many who feared that they were nearing the time when the Antichrist would appear, heralding the world''s end.

Instead there emerged a new civilisation. It was the age of Otto the Great and William the Conqueror, of Viking sea-kings, of hermits, monks and serfs. It witnessed the spread of castles, the invention of knighthood, and the founding of the papal monarchy. It was a momentous achievement: for this was nothing less than the founding of the modern West.
