- Summary:
- "Living in a Carolingian World invites you to look beyond kings, bishops, and court politics to explore the diverse historical experiences and conceptions of the Carolingian non-elite. Through case studies and new research, this volume presents a range of Carolingian worlds that demonstrate the diversity of early medieval society. From agricultural laborers to criminal priests, from ideas about how the non-elite understood weather magic to how they suffered from the abuses of Frankish officials and armed men, this volume offers a fresh exploration of the Carolingian Empire"-- Provided by publisher.
