There has been endless discussion of whether some men are obsessed with the Roman Empire .

There’s been relatively little such discussion of the Anglo -Saxon invasions or the Heptarchy .

Many historians hate the term the Dark Ages’ It implies a value judgement about the cultural achievements of the period, and about the relative value of light and dark colours.
