 However, this is a false perception of the period. The so-called "Dark Ages" was also the period when Christianity spread through much of Europe, bringing enlightenment, knowledge and science. New monasteries were established which were the universities of their day, centres of science, learning, medicine and law, able to communicate with each other by well-developed networks, and capable of diffusing knowledge with remarkable efficiency. The life of the polymath scholar monk [[Bede]] is just one example of the intellectual revolution wrought by the spread of Christianity. Bede lived at [[Jarrow]] in [[Northumbria]] (modern-day north-east [[England]]); he was a theologian, historian and scientist, writing and researching prolifically and communicating with scholars across Europe.
