Le Codex Carolinus fait l’objet d’un regain d’intérêt depuis quelques années. Celui-ci, témoin de l’idéologie royale de Charlemagne, est une source immensément complexe et les raisons de la mise en compilation de la correspondance pontificale en 791 ne sont que partiellement élucidées. Ce travail se consacre à un questionnement sur l’intérêt de compiler les deux dernières lettres du Codex dont la présence est étonnante puisque leur auteur, Constantin II, avait été jugé « usurpateur du siège apostolique » en 769. Pour cela, nous nous sommes d’abord attachés à une réévaluation de son pontificat dont l’histoire était trop dépendante des sources qui l’ont condamné. En croisant les divers témoignages et en accordant un œil attentif aux écrits de l’usurpateur, nous avons pu déterminer que, si son pontificat n’a pas fait l’unanimité, il eut un soutien suffisamment important pour se maintenir une année entière et il a déployé des efforts conséquents dans sa quête de légitimité. Nous avons ensuite confronté le contexte idéologique de constitution du Codex au contenu des lettres dans lesquelles nous avons relevé une série d’éléments attestant que leur contenu relevait d’un intérêt suffisamment important pour qu’elles soient incorporées dans la collection, et ce malgré leur caractère illégitime.

"Haiti Fights Back: The Life and Legacy of Charlemagne Peralte is the first US scholarly examination of the politician and caco leader (guerrilla fighter) who fought against the US military occupation of Haiti. The occupation lasted close to two decades, from 1915-1934. Alexis argues for the importance of documenting resistance while exploring the occupation's mechanics and its imperialism. She takes us to Haiti, exploring the sites of what she labels as resistance zones, including Peralte's hometown of Hinche and the nation's large port areas--Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien. Alexis offers a new reading of US military archival sources that record Haitian protests as banditry. Haiti Fights Back illuminates how Peralte launched a political movement, and meticulously captures how Haitian women and men resisted occupation through silence, military battles, and writings. She locates and assembles rare, multilingual primary sources from traditional repositories, living archives (oral stories), and artistic representations in Haiti and the United States. The interdisciplinary work draws on legislation, cacos' letters, newspapers, and murals, offering a unique examination of Peralte's life (1885-1919) and the significance of his legacy through the 21st century. Haiti Fights Back offers a new approach to the study of the US invasion of the Americas by chronicling how Caribbean people fought back"--

The legend of the Frankish emperor Charlemagne is widespread through the literature of the European Middle Ages. This book offers a detailed and critical analysis of how this myth emerged and developed in medieval German and Dutch literatures, bringing to light the vast array of narratives either idealizing, if not glorifying, Charlemagne as a political and religious leader, or, at times, criticizing or even ridiculing him as a pompous and ineffectual ruler. The motif is traced from its earlest origins in chronicles, in the Kaiserchronik, through the Rolandslied and Der Stricker's Karl der Große, to his recasting as a saint in the Zürcher Buch vom Heiligen Karl.
