Summary
In this series, we will see the aftermath of the disintegration of the Frankish Empire, through the eyes of its challengers within Inner Europe, namely the Magyar and the Pagans of the Baltic Coast (Scandinavian Vikings, Polabian Slavs, Balts). This will be the last push of peoples from East to West for some time, before that direction shifts into West to East. From this extended clash though, would come the profound hybridization of Inner European civilizations, into the High Medieval Age. New episodes every Monday! Have a question or comment?
