Crime and Punishment in the Dark Ages

Подробнее о видео

Ah, the Dark Ages, a period often misunderstood as history's equivalent of a room without a light switch. It's commonly painted as a time when law and order took an extended holiday, particularly after the Romans bid adieu to Britain, leaving the door wide open for the Angles, Saxons, and eventually, the Vikings to throw what could only be described as the world's longest and most unwelcome house party. These newcomers weren't just content with rearranging the furniture; they preferred a more hands-on approach involving the occasional murder of monks, flattening of farmers, bashing of babies, and general terrorizing of towns. Despite this seemingly chaotic free-for-all, the Dark Ages had its own unique, if somewhat deadly, brand of justice and order.
