Following its violent conquest by Charlemagne (772-804), Saxony
became both a Christian and a Carolingian region. This book sets
out to re-evaluate the political integration and Christianization
of Saxony and to show how the success of this transformation has
important implications for how we view governance, the
institutional church, and Christian communities in the early Middle
Ages. A burgeoning array of Carolingian regional studies are pulled
together to offer a new synthesis of the history of Saxony in the
Carolingian Empire and to undercut the narrative of top-down
Christianization with a more grassroots model that highlights the
potential for diversity within Carolingian Christianity. This book
is a comprehensive and accessible account which will provide
students with a fresh view of the incorporation of Saxony into the
Carolingian world.
