Of all the civilisations existing in the year 1000, that of Western Europe seemed the unlikeliest candidate for future greatness. Compared to the glittering empires of Byzantium or Islam, the splintered kingdoms on the edge of the Atlantic appeared impoverished, fearful and backward. But the anarchy of these years proved to be, not the portents of the end of the world, as many Christians had dreaded, but rather the birthpangs of a radically new order.

MILLENNIUM is a stunning panoramic account of the two centuries on either side of the apocalyptic year 1000. This was the age of Canute, William the Conqueror and Pope Gregory VII, of Vikings, monks and serfs, of the earliest castles and the invention of knighthood, and of the primal conflict between church and state. The story of how the distinctive culture of Europe - restless, creative and dynamic - was forged from out of the convulsions of these extraordinary times is as fascinating and as momentous as any in history.

Interesting but hard work

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 22 de septiembre de 2019

Compra verificada

The central thesis of the book is that folk were in awe of the date 1000 as it was believed to be the date of the second coming. There is not much evidence produced to support this and it frankly doesn't impact the story much. The real story is that during the 10th and 11th centuries Christianity spread across Europe and became the universal religion. Still, the kings, emperors and knights continued to hack each other to bits from the Baltic to the Pyrenees. Through all this carnage the Popes tried to maintain supremacy over the warlords; sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
So far, so interesting and well written. However, the book really loses momentum in the middle. Many paragraphs say the same thing several different ways and in the plethora of kings and queens and all their kin, it becomes hard to keep track of the wicked uncles and saintly wives. A book with lots of good bits which could have been great if it had a chunk of padding edited out, to the benefit of the narrative.

Illuminating the Dark Ages...

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 16 de febrero de 2016

Compra verificada

The years between the fall of the Roman Empire and the turn of the first millennium are generally known as the 'Dark Ages', an era of brutality, poverty, illiteracy, paganism and savagery, when all the advances of the Greek and Roman civilisations seemed to vanish as though they had never been, and the shape of the countries we know as England, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Denmark, were barely coming into focus. Such was the case in Western Europe, at least. There was no such Dark Age in the Islamic or Byzantine Empires. In these years, it would have been all but impossible to imagine a time, not so far in the future, when both these mighty empires would be toppled and Western Europe would stand triumphant, stable and orderly, crowned by the splendour and spiritual muscle of the Pope in Rome.

Tom Holland chronicles the course of the centuries either side of 1000 AD, a time of much convulsion and upheaval: the 'birth pangs', as he calls it, of Western Europe. These were the years in which France was emerging from West Francia, a breakaway portion of the empire of the Franks, the empire of Charlemagne, who had been crowned emperor of the West in Rome itself and acknowledged as the western counterpart of the eastern emperor in Constantinople; in which the Scandinavia countries of Norway, Denmark, Iceland were turning away from Odin and the old gods and embracing Christianity; in which Vikings were settling, by force, in France and forming the land that would become Normandy; other Norsemen were settling further in the continent and becoming known as the Rus, eventually giving their name to Russia; yet more Normans were invading and conquering England, Sicily and southern Italy; the Muslim caliphate was splitting in two, with the Umayyad clan basing their dynasty in Cordoba in Muslim Spain, al-Andalus, and the Abbasid caliphate waging persistent war against the Byzantines.

And above all of this, the Church was establishing its grip, the power and influence of the Pope reaching into every kingdom - the secular and the spiritual no longer as separate as they had once been. Popes were claiming new powers and rights over kings, culminating in many kings coming under the papal sway as vassals, crowned and acknowledged by the Pope alone - in effect, the Pope was claiming that the whole of Christendom was subject to him and the Church. And in an act that would have lasting consequences, popes were coming to embracing the concept of a church-blessed 'holy war, a concept already well embedded in the Islamic jihad. In the space of two scant centuries, all this came to pass - and how much can be ascribed to 'millennial fever', to the fervid belief that the End of Days was nigh and the Antichrist due, with the thousand year anniversary of Christ' birth on the horizon, is the major theme of this book. The years before the turn of the millennium were dark and feverish, with many believing that the world was sinful and needed perfecting before the End of Days, giving rise to much of the impetus that propelled these changes.

Tom Holland is a marvellous writer - he has a tone that somehow manages to be wry and melodramatic at the same time, quite a skill. This isn't academic history, it is very much history for the uninformed, but there can be few authors better at painting such a sweep of history so enjoyably. I found the central theory of the millennial fever a little lacking, and it only really forms a central theme in the first half of the book. But I didn't enjoy this book any less for that. This is an era of history I've never been especially interested in - it's either Greek, Persian and Roman, or skipping over these middle years to get to 1066, but I could hardly put this book down.

The making of the Kingdom of God on earth

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 5 de septiembre de 2021

Compra verificada

I've read a few of Holland's books and found this one perhaps the hardest to get through. Mostly, because the time period covered (around 800-1100) is not an area of history I know much about, and it's not where my interest predominantly lies. That said, this book is extremely interesting.
Holland's book is essentially the story of the making of mainland Europe and the shift from tribes and small kingdoms to a global presence. The latter was greatly helped by the spread of Christianity, which created a community spread across vast areas.
Much of the book focuses on the conversation of the 'barbarian' tribes to the faith and how they went on to convert others and so on. I never realised just how much of Europe was settled by the Vikings! It also focuses on the tension between the rising power of Kings vs the power of the Church. Pope vs King, and also Pope vs the representatives of Eastern Christianity. The area most discussed is what is now France and Germany, we learn about the origin of Knights, of the creation of Castles and their use, and of the constant jostling for position.

What's noticeable throughout the work is the sense of the end of days (people thought the millennium was the coming of the antichrist, and Christ's return) the desperation to make the earth 'better' while also killing/pillaging and committing acts that modern observers would condemn as unbelievably barbaric. Holland tells us that even men at the time were torn between acts they committed (or were going to) and their Christian faith. The book ends as Europe is starting to unite under the banner of Christianity and as the first crusade is called.

A superb narrative European history of the period 800-1220 AD

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 5 de abril de 2023

Compra verificada

This book is authoritative and entertaining. I suspect that professional and serious historians may baulk at the lack of referencing for the bewilderingly comprehensive cast of characters and catalogue of event presented by Holland. In addition, Holland's style is colourful, bouncing and energetic rather than staid, reserved and academic. In all honesty I may have abandoned the book early on had it not been for having heard many episodes of "The Rest is History" podcast in which Holland and Sandbrook present a kaleidoscope of historical periods. I was therefore able to read this book with Holland's verbal delivery in mind which gave it just the impetus to keep me happily bobbing along through this fascinating period.

The book covers historical events leading up to the first Millennium until 1099.

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 21 de noviembre de 2020

The author details events in Britain and Europe leading up to 1033, being the time when Christians believed the Anti-Christ would come. It then details the power struggles between the Francs, Reich, Saracens and Byzantine empires for ascendancy in Europe and the establishment of religious centres in Rome, Constantinople, Cluny, Kiev, Cordoba and Santiago. It was a period of turmoil, intrigue and almost constant fighting and changes in leadership.
