Description
Introduction to the Carolingian Age provides an accessible history of western Europe in the eighth and ninth centuries. This period saw the emergence of a truly European civilization from the transformed world of the Roman Empire. Through a thematic and chronological approach, the book explores the life, family, and period of Charlemagne, examining the lives of secular aristocrats, ecclesiastical figures, and scholars associated with the Carolingian dynasty. The study delves into the social and cultural lives of people from the elite to the common classes, shedding light on how the royal house faced challenges that led to the devolution of the empire into smaller kingdoms. Based on up-to-date scholarship, this book offers explanations of historical developments and discussions of key historiographical debates. Suitable for both undergraduate students and general readers with an interest in the history of the Carolingian period from 750-900, Introduction to the Carolingian Age provides a clear and informative narrative that demonstrates the complexities of this pivotal era.
