This course examines the period from the departure of the Romans through to the coming of the Normans. It was an epoch that saw the gradual conversion of the peoples of the British Isles to Christianity and (with the exception of Ireland) the redrawing of the ethnic and political map of the islands. The following three centuries from 800 to 1100 A.D., from the Vikings incursions of the ninth century through to the Norman Conquest of England were a highly formative period in the history of the Isles, witnessing the emergence of England and Scotland as identifiable political entities. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): 3 credit units HIST at the 100 level or 30 credit units of University level courses. Note:Students with credit for HIST 213.6 may not take this course for credit.
