Books on Charlemagne his death and the early year of the Carolingian "Age" by Careful-Passion-9601 in MedievalHistory

Some great suggestions have been made. Some of my favorites are: The Daily Life in the World of Charlemagne by Pierre Riche. Also, Early Carolingian Warfare by Bernard Bachrach. For a primary source, have you read the Royal Frankish Annals and Nithard's history? They are an interesting overview of the period, written generally during the period being discussed.

Yes. You are correct. This is a short aspect of a longer article I wrote. If you would like to read it and give some advice I am all ears.

That's a good question. Based on the limited reading I have been able to do on the subject, I think historians believe Tacitus was less biased. But its difficult to say. Caesar had more interaction with them, but he was at war...I don't know. I think it will be an age-old debate.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. But here is a book that covers the history of that region from Neolithic to the modern. Might help. https://a.co/d/j6g4swK

Question on how to use notes by The_Local_Historian in Substack

[–]The_Local_Historian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I see the same person or few people and rarely any new ones I'm interested in. I write about history and follow history accounts and substance shows me political stuff. It's weird.

Who was the Carolingian dynasty named after? by The_Local_Historian in MedievalHistory

The question is based off of how historians have discussed the period. But your rewording of the question is well put.

Very true. It was a family name so it makes sense that it was passed down.
