This book offers ideas about the processes of political and
cultural change in the early Middle Ages. The main focus is on
relations between the centre and periphery of the Carolingian
empire, in particular on the development of Brittany as a
territorial principality in the ninth and tenth centuries. A major
theme is the interaction of Carolingian imperial policies, Frankish
aristocratic feuding, and local Breton communities. Other issues
discussed include economy and society in Brittany and Neustria, the
impact of Carolingian imperialism on local Breton communities,
changes in the political, ecclesiastical and social structures
arising from Carolingian overlordship of Brittany, the interaction
of Celtic and Carolingian culture, and the construction of an early
medieval ethnic identity. The book shows how regional autonomy and
self-regulating villages were as integral to the Carolingian world
as court politics, cultural imperialism and frontier strife, and it
argues that, in order to understand both the establishment and the
collapse of the Carolingian empire, politics at the periphery
demand as much attention as politics at the centre.
