Abstract | This panel is the second of two which will explore the topic of succession in the Carolingian and post-Carolingian worlds. Building on the theoretical concerns addressed in the earlier panel, here the focus lies more heavily on moments of succession played out in reality. The chronological scope of this panel allows us to ask questions about the perceived continuity and changes to political culture and the exercise of power between the Carolingian and post-Carolingian worlds. |
