Charlemagne is one of the few medieval figures to have maintained a constant presence in the cultural memory of later ages. One of the main factors in this phenomenon is the literary production that set in immediately after his death, with its tendency to model the figure of the Emperor in accordance with the interests of the authors, and frequently to elevate him to a mythical status. While the images of Charlemagne that came about in this way in the European literatures between the 9th and the 15th century obviously differ somewhat, they are in some cases astonishingly consistent throughout the period in question. They are presented here for the first time in one volume, and analyzed from the various perspectives adopted by different disciplines. Karl der Große zählt zu den wenigen Gestalten des Mittelalters, die im kulturellen Gedächtnis der Nachwelt immer präsent geblieben sind. Wesentlichen Anteil daran haben literarische Produktionen, die bereits kurz nach seinem Tod einsetzten, ihn dabei nach jeweils eigenen Interessen modellierend und oft ins Mythische überhöhend. Die auf diese Weise in den europäischen Literaturen zwischen dem 9. und 15. Jahrhundert entstandenen, teilweise differierenden, teilweise jedoch erstaunlich festen Karlsbilder werden hier erstmals in einem Band vorgestellt und aus dem Blickwinkel unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen analysiert.

Charlemagne is often claimed as the greatest ruler in Europe before Napoleon. This magisterial study re-examines Charlemagne the ruler and his reputation. It analyses the narrative representations of Charlemagne produced after his death, and thereafter focuses on the evidence from Charlemagne's lifetime concerning the creation of the Carolingian dynasty and the growth of the kingdom, the court and the royal household, communications and identities in the Frankish realm in the context of government, and Charlemagne's religious and cultural strategies. The book offers a critical examination of the contemporary sources and in so doing transforms our understanding of the development of the Carolingian empire, the formation of Carolingian political identity, and the astonishing changes effected throughout Charlemagne's forty-six year period of rule. This is a major contribution to Carolingian history which will be essential reading for anyone interested in the medieval past. Rosamond McKitterick has also received the 2010 Dr A. H. Heineken Prize for History for her research into the Carolingians.
