Description

This collection of thirteen essays examines the creative tension between the Carolingian dynasty and its aristocratic followers across 250 years of medieval European history. The first section explores how the rising dynasty consolidated power through military campaigns and strategic rewards to secure its position. The second section investigates the exercise of authority through a complex system of governance and representation, highlighting the pivotal role played by the courts of Charlemagne and his successors in shaping political structures. The third section traces the Carolingian system's crisis of legitimacy as it faced challenges from civil war, royal divorce, and aristocratic resistance. Together, these essays provide a nuanced analysis of power dynamics, political authority, and the mechanisms of rule that defined one of Europe's most influential historical periods.
