By the beginning of the 9th century, the Frankish king Charlemagne had united vast territories under his rule, from the Pyrenees in the west to the Danubian Slavs in the east, from the Danish March in the north to Italy in the south. The Pope proclaimed him emperor. But the empire was short-lived. Under Charlemagne's son, Louis the Pious, it faltered, and his sons Lothair, Charles the Bald, and Louis the German clashed at the bloody Battle of Fontenoy, tearing their father and grandfather's legacy into three parts. Thus shaped the political landscape of medieval Europe. Some call the Frankish Empire an attempt to revive Ancient Rome, others the first project of the European Union. What was it really like, and why did it perish, and with it, the Carolingian dynasty? You will find the answer in this fascinating book by medieval historians Matthew Gabriel and David M. Perry.
