Robert Persons’s Conference and the Salic Law debate in France, 1584–1594
This article discusses the French debate of the 1580s over the status of the Salic Law and its influence upon an important text in English political thought, Robert Persons’s Conference about the next Succession to the Crowne of Ingland. Polemicists on both sides of the conflict between Henri of Navarre and the Catholic League, from Pierre de Belloy to the pseudonymous ‘Rossaeus’, sought to explain the French royal succession using a concept of c…
Robert Persons, Popular Sovereignty, and the Late Elizabethan Succession Debate
This article explores how, and why, Robert Persons's A conference about the next succession to the crowne of Ingland (1594) scandalized late Elizabethan England. By invoking the spectres of popular sovereignty and political resistance, Persons, as is well known, threatened to disrupt the succession of James VI of Scotland to Elizabeth I's throne. In doing so, however, he also undermined the very notion that the English crown passed by succession …
The Carolingian World
At its height, the Carolingian empire spanned a million square kilometres of western Europe - from the English Channel to central Italy and northern Spain, and from the Atlantic to the fringes of modern Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. As the largest political unit for centuries, the empire dominated the region and left an enduring legacy for European culture. This comprehensive survey traces this great empire's history, from its origins a…
Framing the Carolingian Economy
This essay argues that the degree of commercialization on Carolingian great estates should not be overstated. Rather, the strategies and ambitions of Carolingian estate managers were primarily determined by a 'domainal' ideology and concerns for good stewardship. Moreover, the structural demands of the Carolingian state may have played a rather more important role in framing economic conditions than is commonly supposed. Here Carolingianists need…
Land, Freedom and the Making of the Medieval West
In the course of the fifth and sixth centuries, barbarian warbands acquired property rights in the former provinces of the Roman west, in a process that established the broad structural characteristics of early medieval society in western Europe: that is the central contention of this essay. Focusing on the western Mediterranean heartlands of the Imperial government and senatorial aristocracy, it argues that these property transfers were fundamen…
‘He never even allowed his white teeth to be bared in laughter’: The politics of humour in the Carolingian renaissance
Humour is scarcely a topic that looms large in Carolingian history. The overriding seriousness of a dynasty that saw its mission as the creation of a Christian society dominated not only contemporary discourse, but also that of modern interpreters. In a political culture wherein argument was prosecuted whenever possible with pen rather than sword, written texts were used to elevate personal and factional interests to the moral high ground. In thi…

Teutons or Trojans? The Carolingians and the Germanic Past
In 893 Archbishop Fulco of Reims wrote to Arnulf, king of the east Frankish kingdom. Fulco had just engineered the coronation of the Carolingian Charles the Simple in west Francia, in opposition to Odo, the aristocrat who had seized the western crown in the crisis of 888. After 888, Arnulf, as a Carolingian (albeit an illegitimate one), had established a hegemony over the various kings within the Frankish empire, Odo included. Hence Fulco's need …
The Uses of the Past in the Early Middle Ages
This volume investigates the ways in which people in western Europe between the fall of Rome and the twelfth century used the past: to legitimate the present, to understand current events, and as a source of identity. Each essay examines the mechanisms by which ideas about the past were subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) reshaped for present purposes. As well as written histories, also discussed are saints' lives, law codes, buildings, Biblical…
