Drawing on a range of evidence related to royal authority,
political events and literate culture, this study traces how kings
and emperors involved themselves in the affairs of the Spanish
March, and examines how actively people in Catalonia participated
in politics centred on the royal court. Rather than setting the
political development of the region in terms of Catalonia's future
independence as a medieval principality, Cullen J. Chandler
addresses it as part of the Carolingian 'experiment'. In doing so,
he incorporates an analysis of political events alongside an
examination of such cultural issues as the spread of the Rule of
Benedict, the Adoptionist controversy, and the educational
programme of the Carolingian reforms. This new history of the
region offers a robust and absorbing analysis of the nature of the
Carolingian legacy in the March, while also revising traditional
interpretations of ethnic motivations for political acts and
earlier attempts to pinpoint the constitutional birth of Catalonia.
