Book Synopsis King and Emperor by : Janet L. Nelson
Download or read book King and Emperor written by Janet L. Nelson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles I, often known as Charlemagne, is one of the most extraordinary figures ever to rule an empire. Driven by unremitting physical energy and intellectual curiosity, he was a man of many parts, a warlord and conqueror, a judge who promised 'for each their law and justice', a defender of the Latin Church, a man of flesh-and-blood. In the twelve centuries since his death, warfare, accident, vermin, and the elements have destroyed much of the writing on his rule, but a remarkable amount has survived. Janet Nelson's wonderful new book brings together everything we know about Charles, sifting through the available evidence, literary and material, to paint a vivid portrait of the man and his motives. Charles's legacy lies in his deeds and their continuing resonance, as he shaped counties, countries, and continents, founded and rebuilt towns and monasteries, and consciously set himself up not just as King of the Franks, but as the head of the renewed Roman Empire. His successors--in some ways even up to the present day--have struggled to interpret, misinterpret, copy, or subvert his legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2011 in the subject History of Europe - Middle Ages, Early Modern Age, grade: A, Saint Mary's University, course: Medieval Europe, language: English, abstract: From fourth century onwards, the Western Roman Empire started to decline and it gave birth to three new dominant cultures within the periphery of lands which were formerly governed by the Romans. Along with the Byzantine Empire and Islamic civilisation, Germanic West was one of the civilisations that emerged following the collapse of the Western Rome. One of the earliest kingdoms emerged out of the Germanic West was the Merovingian dynasty which was founded at the end of the fifth century by King Clovis. The Merovingians ruled Frankish tribes in the region of ancient Gaul and many of them embraced Christianity. Their success was largely linked to their victories over the other Germanic tribes namely Visigoths, Saxons and Alemanni. The continental Europe in the age of Merovingians contained different cultures such as Roman, Christian and Germanic elements. However, the cultural synthesis of these three did not took place until the reign of the Carolingian dynasty which was the successor of the Merovingians.

Download or read book Charlemagne written by Johannes Fried and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Charlemagne died in 814 CE, he left behind a dominion and a legacy unlike anything seen in Western Europe since the fall of Rome. Distinguished historian and author of The Middle Ages Johannes Fried presents a new biographical study of the legendary Frankish king and emperor, illuminating the life and reign of a ruler who shaped Europe’s destiny in ways few figures, before or since, have equaled. Living in an age of faith, Charlemagne was above all a Christian king, Fried says. He made his court in Aix-la-Chapelle the center of a religious and intellectual renaissance, enlisting the Anglo-Saxon scholar Alcuin of York to be his personal tutor, and insisting that monks be literate and versed in rhetoric and logic. He erected a magnificent cathedral in his capital, decorating it lavishly while also dutifully attending Mass every morning and evening. And to an extent greater than any ruler before him, Charlemagne enhanced the papacy’s influence, becoming the first king to enact the legal principle that the pope was beyond the reach of temporal justice—a decision with fateful consequences for European politics for centuries afterward. Though devout, Charlemagne was not saintly. He was a warrior-king, intimately familiar with violence and bloodshed. And he enjoyed worldly pleasures, including physical love. Though there are aspects of his personality we can never know with certainty, Fried paints a compelling portrait of a ruler, a time, and a kingdom that deepens our understanding of the man often called “the father of Europe.”
Download or read book Charlemagne written by Roger Collins and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new account of the most important period in the history of Europe between the end of the Roman Empire and the Italian Renaissance. The reign of Charlemagne (768-814) saw the unification of many areas of France, Italy and Germany, Spain and central Europe, as well as the revival of the title 'Emperor in the West.' At the same time, the cultural and artistic revival that took place in western Europe under Charlemagne's rule both led to the preservation of much of the intellectual heritage of Antiquity and inspired succeeding generations of scholars and artists up to the time of the Renaissance. While the empire that Charlemagne created proved short-lived, the title 'Holy Roman Emperor' remained in continuous use until 1806, and his achievements have inspired a succession of both military conquerors and would-be unifiers of Europe up to the present day. Numerous ideas and institutions were revived or created in this period which would serve to shape the future development of western Europe throughout the Middle Ages and beyond.
Book Synopsis Charlemagne's Practice of Empire by : Jennifer R. Davis
Download or read book Charlemagne's Practice of Empire written by Jennifer R. Davis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revisiting one of the great puzzles of European political history, Jennifer R. Davis examines how the Frankish king Charlemagne and his men held together the vast new empire he created during the first decades of his reign. Davis explores how Charlemagne overcame the two main problems of ruling an empire, namely how to delegate authority and how to manage diversity. Through a meticulous reconstruction based on primary sources, she demonstrates that rather than imposing a pre-existing model of empire onto conquered regions, Charlemagne and his men learned from them, developing a practice of empire that allowed the emperor to rule on a European scale. As a result, Charlemagne's realm was more flexible and diverse than has long been believed. Telling the story of Charlemagne's rule using sources produced during the reign itself, Davis offers a new interpretation of Charlemagne's political practice, free from the distortions of later legend.
Book Synopsis Charlemagne and His World by : Friedrich Heer
Download or read book Charlemagne and His World written by Friedrich Heer and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name Charlemagne is a corruption of the Latin Carolus Magnus -- Charles the Great. The title was given to Charles, king of the Franks, by the clerics of his entourage. As Charlemagne he became, during the Middle Ages, a fabulous symbol of kingship and chivalry. More poems were written about him than any other king, except the somewhat less historical Arthur. There can be no doubt of his claim to greatness. It is impossible to imagine what European history would have been like without his campaigns, his diplomacy and his imagination -- he shaped its course for a thousand years. It is a mark of his historical importance that he is a national hero of both France and Germany, a unique achievement. - p. 9.
