Milenio

In the year 900 AD. C., few would have imagined that the small and warlike Christian kingdoms resulting from the disintegration of the Roman Empire would have a future of splendor. Surrounded by implacable enemies and with the Atlantic barring their way to the other side, it seemed that the Christians could not prosper. In fact, many of them feared the arrival of the antichrist and the end of the world. But the antichrist did not make an appearance and Christianity did not sink, but forged a new civilization. In an epic journey that takes us from the crucifixion to the First Crusade, and from the splendor of Constantinople to the inhospitable shores of Canada, Millennium is an extraordinary account of a momentous revolution: the birth of Western Europe as a new great expansionist power. They are the years of Canute, of the beginning of the Reconquest in Spain, of William the Conqueror, of Pope Gregory, of the Vikings, of the monasteries and the serfs, of the invention of chivalry and of the conflict between Church and State. Millennium, then, is a journey to the beginnings of modern Europe.
