Michael Wood's chapters focus primarily on successive rulers during the Dark Ages (AD 500-1000), and he provides additional background information to assist with understanding the context. This book would serve as a good jumping-off point for anyone interested in finding out even more about the time period and its personalities. While reading, I couldn't help but be amazed at how much we know from so long ago, yet at the same time be saddened by how much more we will never know.
