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. 410 0$aCambridge medieval textbooks. 607 $aItaly$xHistory$y392-814 607 $aRome$xHistory$yGermanic Invasions, 3rd-6th centuries 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y392-814 676 $a937/.09 700 $aHalsall$b Guy$0472977 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818584303321 996 $aBarbarian migrations and the Roman West, 376-568$9227421 997 $aUNINA
