Summary
"How does power manifest itself in individuals and why do people obey it? Here, Stuart Airlie takes the idea of authority as a lens through which to explore one of the most famous dynasties in medieval Europe: the Carolingians. With its nuanced analysis of authority, politics and family, this study sheds new light on both the Carolingian empire and the nature of power in medieval Europe more generally"--
