HIST11474GD Introduction to Medieval History
Sheridan College
In this second video of the course, we'll explore the last centuries of the Roman Empire - one of the largest empires the world has ever seen. We'll assess the Roman legacy in law, culture and language which infuses our lives today. We'll see how Roman Empire struggled to maintain unity and cohesion in the last few hundred years of its existence and its eventual fall. We'll also explore the rise of a new religion - Christianity.
The textbook for the course is Barbara Rosenwein's A Short History of the Middle Ages:

It's a great introduction to the Middle Ages and very easy to read with lots of great maps, pictures and primary sources.
For those who are interested (I am often asked by teachers), the microphone that I use to record my videos is the Blue Yeti USB microphone.

It's on the pricier side but a great investment. If you are serious about having great sound for your lectures, it is worth every penny.
