Description

Explore how power manifested in medieval Europe through Stuart Airlie's expert analysis of the Carolingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish realm from 751 to 888. This scholarly work examines the foundational question of how authority functions in individuals and why people obey those in command, particularly within the family of Charlemagne. Airlie investigates how the Carolingians conveyed superiority and maintained dominance across pre-modern territories lacking rapid communication, standing armies, or formalised political systems. The book offers essential insight into one of Europe's most renowned dynasties, revealing how a single family needed to be ruthless in asserting status whilst remaining adept at creating the mechanisms of control that sustained their reign. A vital resource for understanding medieval power structures and the political innovations that defined an entire era of European history.

Key Features

Making and Unmaking the Carolingians: 751-888 by Stuart Airlie provides an authoritative scholarly examination of medieval European power dynamics and family-based rule.

The Bloomsbury Academic edition explores how the Carolingian dynasty maintained command from 751 to 888 without modern communications, armies, or formalised political structures.

Airlie's analysis uses authority as a conceptual lens to understand the Frankish realm and the family of Charlemagne's strategies for asserting dominance.

This book addresses fundamental questions about power manifestation, obedience to authority, and the methods pre-modern dynasties employed to convey superiority.
