Barbarians II focuses on four Barbarian hordes: the Vandals, the Saxons, the Franks and the Lombards, examining not only their violent conquests but also their cultures, leaders, enemies, and role in shaping world history.
The Vandals infiltrate the Roman borders in northern Gaul and sweep into Spain, making their name synonymous with lawless destruction, looting, and terror.
The brutal Saxons take advantage of a tyrant king's foolish invitation and make their way deep into an island ripe for conquest, facing the Christians in battle for power and land.
A legendary leader said to be half man, half monster, Merovius descends upon Gaul, setting the stage for his sons' conquest over both Roman and Visigoth armies with savage destruction.
The skilled Lombard king, Liutprand, faces both Roman and Frankish attacks as he vies for supremacy on the crowded Italian peninsula--a sacred land torn between political, religious and barbarian powers.
