Description

In Charlemagne's Practice of Empire, Jennifer R. Davis examines one of the most significant puzzles in European political history. This work investigates how the Frankish king and his administration maintained control over the vast empire established during the first decades of his reign. Davis explores the specific methods used to address the primary challenges of imperial rule: delegating authority and managing diverse populations. Rather than applying a fixed model to conquered territories, the research shows how Charlemagne and his officials learned from existing regional structures. Through a meticulous reconstruction using primary sources, this book provides a detailed look at how the practice of empire was developed and maintained.
