Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims (d. 882) is a crucial figure for all
those interested in early medieval European history in general, and
Carolingian history in particular. For forty years he was an
advisor to kings and religious controversialist; his works are a
key source for the political, religious and social history of the
later ninth century, covering topics from papal politics to the
abduction of women and the role of parish priests. For the first
time since Jean Devisse's biography of Hincmar in the 1970s, this
book offers a three-dimensional examination of a figure whose
actions and writings in different fields are often studied in
isolation. It brings together the latest international research
across the spectrum of his varied activities, as history-writer,
estate administrator, hagiographer, canonist, pastorally engaged
bishop, and politically minded royal advisor. The introduction also
provides the first substantial English-language survey of Hincmar's
whole career. -- .
