History and Politics in Late Carolingian Europe

The Carolingian empire was a large Frankish-dominated empire ruled primarily during the early middle ages in central and Western Europe. It is regarded as the first phase in the history of the Holy Roman Empire. The Carolingian period had a big impact on the intellectual culture of Western Europe due to the reforms enacted during that period and particularly under the rule of king Charlemagne. These reforms played a key role in teaching people how to read. The Carolingian empire also introduced improvements in the mechanisms of governance leading to an increase in central control and accountability. This book aims to shed light on the history and politics in late Carolingian Europe. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up.
