Description:The Merovingian Kingdoms (c. 450–751) dominated much of what is now France, Belgium, and Germany, and were the most powerful and long-lived of the states that transformed the inheritance of Rome after the Crisis of the Fifth Century. Yet they often remain representative of an imagined 'Dark Age', in which civility was eroded by migration, violence, illiteracy, superstition, and a retreat from globality. Through a deep exploration of manuscripts, charters, and burials, Merovingian Worlds offers a fresh account of the period, outlining its complexities, diversity and creativity. This was a world built on dynamic political, socio-economic, cultural, and religious interactions, and shaped by its wide-ranging connections from Britain and Ireland to Byzantium and beyond. The book provides a critical introduction to the rich source material and the modern debates that shaped our perception of Western Europe after the Fall of Rome.Offers the most up-to-date guide to Merovingian history c. 450–751Examines why the Merovingian era is a highly contentious period in modern scholarshipExplores the political, social, intellectual, cultural, economic and religious landscape through this timeIntroduces students to a rich source base including manuscripts, charters, and burialsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
