Barbaric tribes typically refer to groups of people considered uncivilized or primitive by more advanced cultures, often characterized by their social structures, customs, and lifestyles. Historically, this term has been applied to various indigenous or nomadic groups by more technologically advanced societies, often leading to a biased perception of their cultures. The label reflects cultural prejudices rather than objective assessments, as many of these tribes possess rich traditions and complex social systems. Today, the term is generally seen as archaic and pejorative, as it oversimplifies the diversity and sophistication of different societies.

Is Beowulf more barbaric than the Song of Roland?

First, it depends on what you mean by Barbaric. Beowulf takes place in a Germanic society in the fifth century, which post the fall of Rome was defined by its Warrior culture. Its important to also take note though that most of the battles in Beowulf are not against other humans, but against monsters like Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. Identity in Beowulf is determined by one's list of heroic deeds, who and how many people they have killed. But in Roland's time, identity is determined by feudalism, and who one is a vassal to, seemingly much less Barbaric. In the Song of Roland, the violence is religiously motivated and takes place between people because of their different beliefs. The battles between the Christians and Muslims in Roland amass many more deaths. While Beowulf takes place in a Barbaric society, Roland, in my opinion is much more Barbaric.

Why was the Middle Ages known as barbaric?

"Barbaric" is a term that has been romanticised to infer the primitive and brutal nature of life and warfare during the Middle Ages (ca. 5th to 15th centuries) The term can also relate the the loosely coined "Barbarians", which was given to tribes and people outside the Roman Empire prior to the onset of the Middle Ages. As the rapid expansion of the Roman Empire and the influx of foreigners (i.e. barbarians) into the Roman lands were responsible for the demise of the the Empire, it could be another reason why the Middle Ages are labelled as 'barbaric'. It is however, not appropriate to label the entire Middle Ages period as barbaric as there very many discoveries and occurrences during this time that were very civilised and eminent and far from the stereotypical and contemporary definition of barbaric.
