At its height, the Carolingian empire spanned a million square
kilometres of western Europe - from the English Channel to central
Italy and northern Spain, and from the Atlantic to the fringes of
modern Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. As the largest
political unit for centuries, the empire dominated the region and
left an enduring legacy for European culture. This comprehensive
survey traces this great empire's history, from its origins around
700, with the rise to dominance of the Carolingian dynasty, through
its expansion by ruthless military conquest and political
manoeuvring in the eighth century, to the struggle to hold the
empire together in the ninth. It places the complex political
narrative in context, giving equal consideration to vital themes
such as beliefs, peasant society, aristocratic culture and the
economy. Accessibly written and authoritative, this book offers
distinctive perspectives on a formative period in European history.
