In 476, the Western Roman Empire is the western room. The vast territories of the Western Mediterranean were in the hands of vandals, Westgotes, francs and other tribes, which the Romans were previously called barbarians. The Roman Empire, such as the ancient world knew, was gone. But, even in the conditions of a decline in power, Europe did not plunge into darkness. The Eastern Roman Empire still existed, under the auspices of the emperors flourished art, science and crafts, the legal system was improved. On the wreckage of the Western Roman Empire, new powerful states arose - the kingdoms of the Franks, Ostrogoths and Westgotes.
