"An interdisciplinary study examining the origins of Anglo-Norman views of kingship in idealized interpretations of Charlemagne's imperium. Demonstrates how the idea of "Englishness" developed in the Middle Ages as much as a consequence of the Anglo-Norman imagination and experience as a reaction against it"--Provided by publisher.

The Battle of Rencesvals is the one of the most dramatic historical event of the entire eighth century, not only in Vasconia but in Western Europe. This monograph examines the battle as more than a single military encounter, but instead as part of a complex military and political conquest that began after the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in 711 and culminated with the creation of the Kingdom of Pamplona in 824. The battle had major (and largely underappreciated) consequences for the internal structure of the Carolingian Empire. It also enjoyed a remarkable legacy as the topic of one of the oldest European epic poems, La Chanson de Roland. The events that took place in the Pyrenean pass of Rencesvals (Errozabal) on 15 August 778 defined the development of the Carolingian world, and lie at the heart of the early medieval contribution to the later medieval period.

Revisiting one of the great puzzles of European political history, Jennifer Davis examines how the Frankish king Charlemagne and his men held together the vast new empire he created during the first decades of his reign. Davis explores how Charlemagne overcame the two main problems of ruling an empire, namely how to delegate authority and how to manage diversity. Through a meticulous reconstruction based on primary sources, she demonstrates that rather than imposing a pre-existing model of empire onto conquered regions, Charlemagne and his men learned from them, developing a practice of empire that allowed the emperor to rule on a European scale. As a result, Charlemagne's realm was more flexible and diverse than has long been believed. Telling the story of Charlemagne's rule using sources produced during the reign itself, Davis offers a new interpretation of Charlemagne's political practice, free from the distortions of later legend.

La versione antico provenzale dello »Pseudo Turpino« conservataci in un manoscritto unico, l'Add 17920 del British Museum di Londra, nota agli studiosi a partire dall'edizione del 1890 ma rimasta totalmente priva di adeguati commento ed interpretazione, rappresenta un anello essenziale nella trasmissione del leggendario epico carolingio, venendo a documentare una tendenza compositiva del tutto distinta dalla precedente diffusa in altre regioni di Francia. La corretta trascrizione ed interpretazione del testo hanno permesso al curatore di comprendere come nell'indicazione logistica della 'Via Jacobitana' resa come 'Via de predicadors' si nascondesse la possibilità di individuare la genesi del volgarizzamento e la sua elaborazione per conto del centro di devozione jacopea della rue de Saint Jacques a Parigi. In quest'ottica le indagini linguistiche di M. Pfister, le ricerche codicologiche di W.C.M. Wüstefeld, i recuperi testuali di A. Hämel e le cospicue intuizioni di A. de Mandach, alcuni tra i numerosi e precedenti studiosi del testo, sono servite di base per l'identificazione della tradizione di rinvio all'interno dell'ambiente papale avignonese e dell'effettiva stesura del volgarizzamento provenzale per l'occasione della fortunata coincidenza di nomina alla sede arcivescovile di Compostella di un famoso e colto Padre Predicatore, di antica e nobile famiglia. La versione in antico provenzale, segno sicuro del trasferimento del mito turpiniano in un inedito panorama culturale di riferimento, è cos sistemata all'interno del processo storico di sviluppo delle 'gesta' di Carlo Magno in connessione all'affermazione del cammino egidiano verso Compostella. La complessa figura di Bérenger de Landore, maestro generale dei Predicatori e nuovo arcivescovo compostellano per diretto intervento papale, appare cos emblematica per la vitalità e l'emergenza di nuovi e forti interessi culturali e insieme cultuali.

Charlemagne never traveled farther east than Italy, but by the mid-tenth century a story had begun to circulate about the friendly alliances that the emperor had forged while visiting Jerusalem and Constantinople. This story gained wide currency throughout the Middle Ages, appearing frequently in chronicles, histories, imperial decrees, and hagiographies-even in stained-glass windows and vernacular verse and prose. In Emperor of the World, Anne A. Latowsky traces the curious history of this myth, revealing how the memory of the Frankish Emperor was manipulated to shape the institutions of kingship and empire in the High Middle Ages.The legend incorporates apocalyptic themes such as the succession of world monarchies at the End of Days and the prophecy of the Last Roman Emperor. Charlemagne's apocryphal journey to the East increasingly resembled the eschatological final journey of the Last Emperor, who was expected to end his reign in Jerusalem after reuniting the Roman Empire prior to the Last Judgment. Instead of relinquishing his imperial dignity and handing the rule of a united Christendom over to God as predicted, this Charlemagne returns to the West to commence his reign. Latowsky finds that the writers who incorporated this legend did so to support, or in certain cases to criticize, the imperial pretentions of the regimes under which they wrote. New versions of the myth would resurface at times of transition and during periods marked by strong assertions of Roman-style imperial authority and conflict with the papacy, most notably during the reigns of Henry IV and Frederick Barbarossa. Latowsky removes Charlemagne's encounters with the East from their long-presumed Crusading context and shows how a story that began as a rhetorical commonplace of imperial praise evolved over the centuries as an expression of Christian Roman universalism.
