Please answer the two questions posed below SEPARATELY, and as completely as possible, using standard citation formatting (footnotes are preferred), and with text spaced at 1.5 lines with 1-inch margins all around.
The best answers will be those which answer the questions directly, bring in specifics and evidence to their arguments, and demonstrate a good knowledge of the readings. Please quote from the book “Framing the Early Middle Ages
Europe and the Mediterranean 400–800” by Chris Wickham.
(Please use the bullet points beneath the rather broad questions as a kind of guide, or indication as to some of the things I’d like you to deal with in your papers.)
