Ian Wood's book, The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450-751

Legg inn av Douglas Richardson » 03 des 2007 01:07:02

Dear Newsgroup ~

Regarding the topic of the Merovingian dynasty and its connection to
the succeeding Carolingian dynasty, newsgroup members might like to
take a look the information provided in Ian Wood's interesting book,
The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450-751.

Mr. Wood is Professor of Early Medieval History at the School of
History at the University of Leeds. For interest's sake, I've listed
below Ian Wood's "recent" publications. Clearly Mr. Woods is a
serious medieval scholar, and a prolific one at that.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Make that argument from inanity. Note he didn't even indicate there is
anything there that would add to the discussion, just that group
members might like to read it.

I'd have to agree; quite apart from its rhetorical value, the listing of
works of a major scholar that readers may not be aware of is On Topic
and useful for all readers.

While this book, of which I own a copy, is interesting in many ways,
it does not provide evidence as to Charlemagne's great-grandmother or
other proposed Merovingian connections to later families in its
genealogical tables or commentary.

Yes, an excellent book. It does not shed any light on the parentage
of Bertrada of Pruem. As Nat pointed out, that is the pivotal
question with regard to the alleged Merovingian descent.
