About This Book

The Pirenne Thesis argues that the transition to the Middle Ages was caused not by barbarian invasions, but by the 7th-century Islamic conquest of the Mediterranean. This expansion severed Roman trade routes and shifted the economic and political center of Europe from the Mediterranean to the Frankish north.
