This work constitutes an appraisal of the development of kingship
and royal administration in the kingdoms which, by the seventh
century AD, had been established in the former Western Roman
Empire. By viewing the seventh century in its own terms, and
providing a detailed critique of the primary sources, the author
sets out to show that kings were stronger than has often been
thought, and their administration more sophisticated. A feature of
his analysis is its setting of the evidence for early Anglo-Saxon
England alongside that relating to the continental kingdoms. The
evolution of governmental structures in a period increasingly
remote from the imperial past is traced, as is the relationship of
the "barbarian" kingdoms to the Byzantine Empire, and it is argued
that, despite emergent differences between the kingdoms, many of
their administrative institutions continued to be influenced by a
common inheritence of Roman traditions.
