Of Palaces, Hunts, and Pork Roast: Deciphering the Last Chapters of the Capitulary of Quierzy (a. 877) Martin Gravel Politics depends on personal contacts.1 This is true in today’s world, and it was certainly true in early medieval states. Even in the Carolingian empire, the larg- est Western polity of the period, power depended on relations built on personal contacts.2 In an effort to nurture such necessary relationships, the sovereign moved with his court, within a network of important political “communication centres”;3 in the ninth century, the foremost among these were his palaces, along with certain cities and religious sanctuaries. And thus, in contemporaneous sources, the Latin term palatium often designates not merely a royal residence but the king’s entourage, through a metonymic displacement that shows the importance of palatial grounds in * I would like to thank my fellow panelists at the International Medieval Congress (Leeds, 2011): Stuart Airlie, Alexandra Beauchamp, and Aurélien Le Coq, as well as our session organizer Jens Schneider. This paper has greatly benefited from the good counsel of Jennifer R. Davis, Eduard Frunzeanu, Alban Gautier, Maxime L’Héritier, and Jonathan Wild. I am also indebted to Eric J. Goldberg, who was kind enough to read my draft and share insightful remarks. In the final stage, the precise reading by Florilegium’s anonymous referees has greatly improved this paper. 1 In this paper, the term politics will be used in accordance with Baker’s definition, as rephrased by Stofferahn: “politics, broadly construed, is the activity through which individuals and groups in any society articulate, negotiate, implement, and enforce the competing claims they make upon one another”; Stofferahn, “Resonance and Discord,” 9.

Possibilities of Royal Power in the Late Carolingian Age: Charles III the Simple
Possibilities of royal power in the late Carolingian age: Charles III the Simple Summary The thesis aims to determine the possibilities of royal power in the late Carolingian age, analysing the reign of Charles III the Simple (893/898-923). His predecessors’ reigns up to the death of his grandfather Charles II the Bald (843-877) serve as basis for comparison, thus also allowing to identify mid-term developments in the political structures shaping the Frankish world toward the turn from the 9th to the 10th century. Royal power is understood to have derived from the interaction of the ruler with the nobles around him. Following the reading of modern scholarship, the latter are considered as partners of the former, participating in the royal decision-making process and at the same time acting as executors of these decisions, thus transmitting the royal power into the various parts of the realm. Hence, the question for the royal room for manoeuvre is a question of the relations between the ruler and the nobles around him. Accordingly, the analysis of these relations forms the core part of the study. Based on the royal diplomas, interpreted in the context of the narrative evidence, the noble networks in contact with the rulers are revealed and their influence examined. Thus, over the course of the reigns of Louis II the Stammerer (877-879) and his sons Louis III (879-882) and Carloman II (879-884) up until the rule of Charles III the Fat (884-888), the existence of first one, then two groups of nobles significantly influencing royal politics become visible.

1 the EDICT of PÎTRES, CAROLINGIAN DEFENCE AGAINST the VIKINGS, and the ORIGINS of the MEDIEVAL CASTLE by Simon Maclean READ 8
1 THE EDICT OF PÎTRES, CAROLINGIAN DEFENCE AGAINST THE VIKINGS, AND THE ORIGINS OF THE MEDIEVAL CASTLE By Simon MacLean READ 8 FEBRUARY 2019 ABSTRACT: The castle is one of the most characteristic features of the Western European landscape in the Middle Ages, dominating social and political order from the eleventh century onwards. The origins of the castle are generally assigned to the ninth and tenth centuries, and the standard story begins with the defensive fortifications established against the Vikings during the reign of the West Frankish king Charles the Bald (843–77). In this article I argue that there are serious problems with this origin story, by re-evaluating some of the key sources on which it rests – particularly the Edict of Pîtres (864). I seek to demonstrate that my analysis of this source has important implications for how we think about the relationship between fortifications and the state in the Carolingian Empire; and by extension the evolution of the castle in north-western Europe between the ninth and twelfth centuries. 1. Introduction The Edict of Pîtres of 25 July 864 is one of the most celebrated of the 350 or so capitularies promulgated by the kings and emperors of the Carolingian dynasty. The Carolingians ruled the Frankish kingdoms which dominated Western Europe during the eighth and ninth centuries, and the capitularies were their characteristic form of legislation – a heterogeneous genre, but broadly speaking recognisable as records of royal proclamations divided into chapters, often expressed in a legislative or exhortatory voice.1 The Edict was issued by one of the most enthusiastic Carolingian legislators: Charles the Bald, who ruled the West Frankish kingdom (approximately equivalent to modern France) between 843 and 877.

Iron, Steel and Swords Script - Page 1 Charibert I These Kids Did Not Do All That Well - They Fought Each Other Over Women
The Frankish Empire And Its Swords Born to Rule (or to Be Killed) The Frankish Empire (also known as Frankish Kingdom, Frankia, Frankland) was the territory inhabited and ruled by the Franks, a confederation of Germanic tribes, during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. It starts with the Merovingians, who we know from before. Here is a very brief history of the Fankish Empire (mostly based on Wikipedia). Clovis (ca. 466 – 511) was the first King of the Franks and the founder of the Merovingian dynasty that ruled the Franks for the next two centuries. His father was Childeric I, whose sword hilt we so admire. In the 150 or so years before his coronation in 496, a confederation of various tribes like Sicambri, Saliens, Bructeri, Ampsivarii, Chamavi and Chattuarii, fought the Romans, each other, or were allies of the Romans. Nevertheless they established some "Frankish" territory in what is now France. Around 428 the Salian King Chlodio, a member of the Germanic Franks from the Merovingian clan, ruled over an increasing number of Gallo- Roman subjects on both sides of the Rhine. Advanced His name is Germanic, composed of the elements "hlod" = "fame" and "wig" = combat. The French, of course, later wrote it "Clovis" and pronounced it like "Louis", the name born by 18 kings of France. The Frankish core territory then was Austrasia (the "eastern lands"); see the map below or on a larger scale here. Chlodio was a Christian and, like his forebears, under constant attack from the heathen Saxons in the North. After his death in 511 the Kingdom was partitioned into 4 parts, ruled by his four sons: Frankish empire evolution Numbers give date of "acquisition".

Royal Marriage, Frankish History and Dynastic Crisis in Regino of Prüm's
Royal Marriage, Frankish History and Dynastic Crisis in Regino of Prüm’s Chronicle Eric J. Goldberg and Simon MacLean* Regino of Prüm’s Chronicle (907/908) is one of the most important works of contemporary history written in the era of the Carolingian Empire. In this article we consider Regino’s nu- merous stories about good and bad royal marriages drawn from the deep past of the Franks, and we show how the historian adapted his source material to late Carolingian sensibilities. We then argue that Regino’s interest in royal marriage can best be interpreted as a reflection of his anxiety about the marital status of the reigning East Frankish king Louis IV »the Child« (900-911). Regino dedicated his work to the king’s godfather and counsellor Adalbero of Augsburg, and he apparently hoped to influence the king and his inner circle in the urgent task of selecting an appropriate royal bride. Regino’s accounts of past rulers and their marital histories therefore give us an insight into how he perceived the political order of his own day and his fears about the future of the Carolingian dynasty. Keywords: Carolingians; marriage; Regino of Prüm; historiography; Louis the Child; Lotharingia 1. Introduction Regino of Prüm’s Chronicle, composed in 907-908, offers a valuable case study in how the past could be used, and not used, in moments of crisis. The Chronicle was the last largescale Frankish history produced by the fertile historiographical culture of the Frankish Empire under the Carolingians. Written in two books from the birth of Christ to the year 906, it drew on numerous identifiable sources which Regino variously copied, abbreviated and altered.

Horst Lößlein Royal Power in the Late Carolingian Age Charles III the Simple and His Predecessors DOI
Horst Lößlein Royal Power in the Late Carolingian Age Charles III the Simple and His Predecessors DOI: https://doi.org/10.16994/ban English Summary Charles III the Simple (893/898−923) only became king when nobles rebelling against the Robertian Odo were in need of a candidate for the West Frankish throne. Posthumously born to Louis II the Stammerer, he was of Carolingian blood and thus able to provide the rebellion with an appearance of legitimacy. The rebels on the other hand offered Charles the opportunity of a lifetime: after 14 years of being ignored by the leading nobles of the West Frankish realm, he was finally able to succeed his father. Yet, while his reign lasted for 25 years, it ended how it had started and Charles was deposed by a rebellion led by Robert of Neustria. The circumstances of Charles’ elevation and deposition are among the reasons for his image as a weak king, unable to control the nobles, and why he counts as a prime example of the “decline and fall” of the Carolingian empire towards the end of the 9th century. Yet, what does “weak king” mean? Modern scholarship has long discarded the view of kingship as a question of royal orders and noble obedience. Instead, it is understood as the result of a process involving both the ruler and those around him. Successful kingship depended on the ruler’s ability to integrate the nobles into this process, to mediate between their and his own interests and to create consensus. This understanding serves as basis for this new approach to fathoming out the possibilities and limits of late Carolingian royal power.

Military Intelligence and Long-Term Planning in the Ninth Century: The
applyparastyle “fig//caption/p[1]” parastyle “FigCapt” Mediaevistik 33 . 2020 89 2020 Bernard S. Bachrach, David S. Bachrach, University of New Hampshire 1 University of Minnesota Emeritus 1 Military Intelligence and Long-Term Planning in the 89 Ninth Century The Carolingians and Their Adversaries 112 2020 Abstract: Historians of warfare in the western tradition have devoted considerable attention to the problem of military intelligence from the Greek and Persian wars of the fifth century B.C.E. up to the recent past. Strikingly absent from this conversation, however, has been the treatment of the acquisition and analysis of information for military purposes in pre-Crusade Europe, particularly in the Carolingian and immediate post-Carolingian world. In part, this lacuna is the result of a general neglect by modern scholars of military matters in the ninth and tenth centuries. A second major reason for the lack of studies of military intelligence is the dead hand of nineteenth-century romantic-nationalist historiography that has imposed a “dark-age” straight-jacket on many aspects of the history of the early medieval world. This emphatically includes the history of warfare, which has been treated in the context of a putatively Tacitean or Beowulfian quest for honor and booty, rather than as a highly complex element of governmental activity. The present study addresses this gap in modern understanding of the complex nature of early medieval warfare through an examination of military intelligence in the ninth century with a focus on the Carolingians and their opponents, primarily the Vikings, the Muslim polity in Spain, and the Slavs.
