[EAN: 9780582064768], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Longman/Pearson Education, London etc.], 2000. xiv, 207pp. "The career of Charles Martel, from 715-741, marks a dramatic watershed period in European medieval history. He is renowned as the founder of the Carolingian dynasty and famous as the man who turned back the Arabs at Poitiers in one of the most decisive battles in western civilization. . Faced with enemies on all fronts, including Arab invaders, Charles supposedly pioneered new forms of military organisation, including the reward of land for national service, which redirected European society into feudalism. . In The Age of Charles Martel, Paul Fouracre demolishes this grand theory. . Casting new light on all forms of feudalism and dark age warfare and society, he shows rather that cultural assimilation is the proper background to Martel's conquest of outlying regions of the Frankish kingdom. He explains thoroughly Martel's rise to power and shows how this success paved the way for the final deposition of the Merovingians by his son Pippin and the consolidation of power by his grandson Charlemagne, and thus the rewriting of history by his descendants, the Carolingian rulers of France.".
