"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 long-awaited and 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 yet authoritative, this book offers distinctive perspectives on
a formative period in European history"--
