This is a major new survey of the barbarian migrations and their
role in the fall of the Roman Empire and the creation of early
medieval Europe, one of the key events in European history. Unlike
previous studies it integrates historical and archaeological
evidence and discusses Britain, Ireland, mainland Europe and North
Africa, demonstrating that the Roman Empire and its neighbours were
inextricably linked. A narrative account of the turbulent fifth and
early sixth centuries is followed by a description of society and
politics during the migration period and an analysis of the
mechanisms of settlement and the changes of identity. Guy Halsall
reveals that the creation and maintenance of kingdoms and empires
was impossible without the active involvement of people in the
communities of Europe and North Africa. He concludes that, contrary
to most opinions, the fall of the Roman Empire produced the
barbarian migrations, not vice versa.
