  1. Probably all from the propaganda renaissance writers made, only in Italy, France, England, and Spain were the dark ages "dark", and Spain even had a golden age under Islam and several parts of Italy thrived as independent Republics so even that wasn't as "dark" as it might seem.

  2. 01:22, ehhh, most of Europe at the time consisted of primitive tribes that didn't have a functioning intricate economy, the "dark ages" actually brought a lot of Roman and Greek culture and technology to Northern Europe. Meanwhile the Eastern-Roman Empire continued to exist so the Roman decline only applied to Southwestern Europe and England.

  4. And Charlemagne even recreated his own "Holy" Roman Empire in the West based on old Roman laws mixed with Sallic Frankish laws and trying to rediscover old Roman technology and administration which is known as "the Carolinian renaissance". Also Western-Roman culture spread all the way to Scandinavia where previously only primitive tribes had lived that are only known to us as raiders (Vikingers) and traders today.
