Historia świata Odcinek 4: Into the Light

Andrew Marr examines the history of the Middle Ages. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Europe was little more than a muddy backwater. Vikings explored and pillaged from Northern Europe to North America. But they also laid the foundations of powerful new trading states - including Russia. Marr goes on to explore the conquests of Ghengis Khan, the adventures of Marco Polo and the extraordinary story of an African King - the wealthiest who ever lived – and finds out how Europe emerged from the Dark Ages and used influences from around the world to rise again with the Renaissance.
