Explore the dynamics of authority in early medieval Europe with this collection of thirteen essays from Routledge.

Readers will find a detailed analysis of how the dynasty worked to consolidate power through military action and the distribution of rewards. The text moves into the methods of governance and representation used by the ruling class, looking at the importance of the courts established by Charlemagne and his successors.
