The Eternal Time of History - Part IX #942512

The fragmentation of the Holy Roman Empire due to internal struggles among Charlemagne's heirs and the arrival of Norman history marked the unfolding of events in the ninth century, through a relentless succession of hopes and immediate disillusionments regarding a past that was not destined to repeat itself.

The Empire crumbled, and with it, the history of the Franks, while the Normans remained increasingly divided between those attached to tradition and those intending to leave to raid or explore.
Completing the century's vision, the rural vision of Saxon Britain was destined to disappear, overwhelmed by the upheavals of invasions or poorly disguised claims of grandeur.
