An exploration of the many depictions of Charlemagne in the Italian tradition of chivalric narratives in verse and prose. Chivalric tales and narratives concerning Charlemagne were composed and circulated in Italy from the early fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth century (and indeed subsequently flourished in forms of popular theatre which continue today). But are they history or fiction? Myth or fact? Cultural memory or deliberate appropriation? Elite culture or popular entertainment? Oral or written, performed or read? This book explores the many depictions of the Emperor in the Italian tradition of chivalric narratives in verse and prose. Beginning in the age of Dante with the earliest tales composed for Italians in the hybrid language of Franco-Italian, which draw inspiration from the French tradition of Charlemagne narratives, the volume considers the compositions of anonymous reciters of cantari and the prose versions of the Florentine Andrea da Barberino, before discussing the major literary contributions to the genre by Luigi Pulci, Matteo Maria Boiardo and Ludovico Ariosto. The focus throughout is on the ways in which the portrait of Charlemagne, seen as both Emperor and King of France, is persistently ambiguous, affected by the contemporary political situation and historical events such as invasion and warfare. He emerges through these texts in myriad guises, from positive and admirable to negative and despised.

Excerpt from Medieval Italy: From Charlemagne to Henry VII Without discussing it, we have accepted from foreign writers the verdict that Italians are by nature a people indifferent to religion, almost devoid, in fact, of the religious sense. It has been said and repeated of us that we have always occupied ourselves exclu sively with jurisprudence, commerce, industry, litera ture, and art. Even in the Crusades we are said to have seen only an occasion for money-making without sharing, to the slightest degree, in the uncontrollable religious enthusiasm which urged other nations to the East for the liberation of Christ's sepulchre from the hands of the Infidel. Such remarks would almost lead one to suppose that St. Benedict, St. Francis, Abbot Joachim, even Arnold of Brescia, Leo I., Gregory the Great, Gregory VII., and many others, were not natives of Italy. And yet our whole history, down to the death of Dante Alighieri, is a continual proof of the contrary. It was during that period that the religious life rose to the highest degree of import ance, and we find no great political event that was not preceded, accompanied, and animated by some religious movement or religious contest. In our country indiffe rence began with the Humanists and the Renascence. Indeed, one of the most striking facts of our history is the sudden - almost instantaneous - change which, from this point of view, then occurred in Italy. Between Dante and Petrarca and Boccaccio, between the Vita N nova, the Divine Comedy, and the Decameron, a century might have elapsed, and yet they were almost contemporary. It is conceivable that foreigners for whom the Renascence is the golden age not only of art and literature but also of our history as a whole, should only see men of the Renascence at every point and in every period. But it is not conceivable that Italians, who ought to understand that in this way the most varied types and periods become confused, should follow the same course. To correct this error, which seems to me a very grave one, it is neither necessary to formulate judgments nor to enter into discussions, much less to write biased history; it is sufficient to narrate well-proved events without muti Iating them in any way, and giving to each its natural proportions.

This book offers an overview of the archaeological and structural evidence for one of the most vital periods of Italian history, spanning the late Roman and early medieval periods. The chronological scope covers the adoption of Christianity and the emergence of Rome as the seat of Western Christendom, the break-up of the Roman west in the face of internal decay and the settlement of non-Romans and Germanic groups, the impact of Germanic and Byzantine rule on Italy until the rise of Charlemagne and of a Papal State in the later eighth century. Presenting a detailed review and analysis of recent discoveries by archaeologists, historians, art historians, numismatists and architectural historians, Neil Christie identifies the changes brought about by the Church in town and country, the level of change within Italy under Rome before and after occupation by Ostrogoths, Byzantines and Lombards, and reviews wider changes in urbanism, rural exploitation and defence. The emphasis is on human settlement on its varied levels - town, country, fort, refuge - and the assessment of how these evolved and the changes that impacted on them. Too long neglected as a 'Dark Age', this book helps to further illuminate this fascinating and dynamic period of European history.

THE placing by Leo III. of the Imperial crown upon the head of Charlemagne in St. Peter's on Christmas Day of the year 800 marked the commencement of a new era in the history of the world. But the Empire of the West, initiated at that moment in its dual character--political and religious--contained within itself the germs of infinite discords and calamities. As Roman and Christian it should have symbolised the union of nations; but meanwhile the Empire of the East, heir to Rome, continued to exist at Constantinople. Furthermore, the Western Empire was composed of very dissimilar races which, until then divided and subdivided among themselves, had often been at war with one another. The greatest and most immediate danger to the unity of the Empire came from the German principle of succession, according to which the State, as the property of the Sovereign, must be divided among his heirs. This principle, which in the past had caused many bloody wars among the Franks, promised no good for the future of the new Empire. Charlemagne, who was a very great leader of Teutonic peoples, but who lacked the true genius of organisation, held it together by the power of his sword and the strength of his personal authority. It was therefore easy to predict that his death would be followed by a period of anarchy.
