The Frankish Kingdoms Under the Carolingians 751-987 by Rosamund Mckitterick

The Frankish Kingdoms Under the Carolingians 751-987 by Rosamund Mckitterick

An exciting examination of the entire history of the Carolingian 'dynasty' in western Europe. The author shows the whole period to be one of immense political, religious. cultural and intellectual dynamism; not only did it lay the foundations of the governmental and administrative institutions of Europe and the organisation of the Church, but it also securely established the intellectual and cultural traditions which were to dominate western Christendom for centuries to come.

'Above all there is on numerous matters a depth which only a scholar with the author's vast knowledge of the manuscript sources could provideThis book will take a secure place among modern accounts of the Carolingian period.'
