[gothic-l] Sturm ueber Europa - Storm over Europe

[Bertil Haggman]

Dear Listmembers,

Happy to report on the 4th program of the ZDF series.
According to the editors Europe stands on the shoulders of:

The Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy (Gothic migration from Scandinavia)
The Visigothic kingdom of Spain (Gothic migration from Scandinavia)
The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England (migration from Denmark or 
south of Denmark?)
The Frankish kingdom of France

Interesting snippets of information was the use of sail during
the Migration Era on the North Sea and the DNA research to find out 
more about the settlement of Angles and Saxons in Britain.

In all,  this was a fine series and I think Professor Herwig Wolfram
can be proud of his contribution to the series.

A video-cassette with all four programs can be purchased from ZDF
and then, of course, there is the book _Sturm ueber Europa_ (Storm
over Europe).

Below info in German on the highly spectacular fourth program
in the series.

Gothically

Folge 4: Die Erben des Imperiums
Im 5. und 6. Jahrhundert errichteten die Barbaren auf römischem Boden ihre Reiche: die Ostgoten in Italien, die Westgoten in Spanien, Angeln und Sachsen in England, die Franken in Deutschland und Frankreich. Mit der Kaiserkrönung Karls des Großen im Jahre 800 entstand das mittelalterliche Europa.
