About this audiobook

The Medieval Period has to be one of the most fascinating periods of history. With it comes the images of castles, knights, conquests, and, of course, kingdoms and empires. Every European empire and kingdom during this Age is filled with exciting tales, shrewd plots for revenge or power, creation of a national identity enduring to the present day, and inventions with lasting influence. In Medieval European Empires, we will cover notable and lesser known Medieval empires such as:

- The Hunnic Empire led by “The Scourge of God” aka Attila the Hun

- The Umayyad Caliphate continuing with Prophet Muhammed’s vision of spreading Islam

- The Most Serene Republic of Venice who proved that sheer mercantile might can create an empire that would last more than 1000 years

- The Normans, a Viking-French superpower, whose territorial conquests seemed endless
