Description

Explore the complex nature of power and authority in medieval Europe with this academic study by Stuart Airlie. Making and Unmaking the Carolingians: 751-888 examines how one of history's most famous dynasties maintained control in a world without modern communication or standing armies. This book uses the concept of authority to look closely at the Carolingian family, who ruled the Frankish realm for over a century. From the rise of Charlemagne to the eventual shifts in power, the text investigates how this dynasty asserted their status and managed their command. It provides a deep look into how a single family could convey superiority and maintain dominance in a pre-modern era. Ideal for students and historians interested in European history and the Frankish realm, this work by Bloomsbury Academic offers a detailed perspective on the methods used to establish and preserve political rule during a transformative period of the Middle Ages.
