Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive analysis of the nature of kingship in the Carolingian era. From the 9th century, four texts emerged which attempted to define the duties and responsibilities of a Christian king and their relationship with the Church. The author examines these fascinating texts to unearth their insights into the complex relationship between secular and religious power during the early Middle Ages. The author demonstrates the originality of the authors of these texts while situating their writings within their wider historical context. The book delves into wider concepts such as divine right, the influence of the Church in secular affairs, and the ideal qualities of a Christian ruler. It concludes by highlighting the profound influence of these texts on subsequent ideas about the nature of monarchy, both throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
