Résumé
This book offers an expansive exploration of the interactions between the Roman world and the so-called "barbarian" peoples from the fall of the Western Roman Empire through the emergence of medieval Europe. It examines the Christian narratives of barbarian history, from the Roman and Christian perspectives on invasions and migrations, to the integration of barbarian rulers into Christian kingship.
The work tracks the complex process of conversion, cultural adaptation, and political consolidation as various barbarian groups-such as the Visigoths, Vandals, Franks, and Vikings-embraced Christianity, reshaped their identities, and formed new kingdoms in a world that was increasingly defined by Christian authority. Beginning with an analysis of the fall of Rome and the theological explanations offered by early Christian thinkers, it progresses through the detailed examination of key figures and events-such as the rise of the Carolingian Empire under Charlemagne, the conversion of the Slavs, the Norman and Viking influence, and the eventual rise of feudalism.
Along the way, the book underscores how the transition from barbarian chieftains and kings to Christian monarchs set the stage for the political and cultural structures that would dominate Europe for centuries. Through primary sources, the work highlights the role of Christian missions, monastic scholarship, and royal patronage in forging the religious and intellectual foundation of medieval Europe.
Central to the book is the idea that Christianity, with its strong cultural and political implications, played a key role in shaping the legacy of barbarian kingdoms, turning once hostile invaders into legitimate rulers and participants in the Christianized world order. This historical narrative not only addresses the rise of Christian Europe but also provides critical insight into the interplay of power, religion, and cultural identity during a transformative period in world history, offering a comprehensive look at how the convergence of Roman heritage and barbarian influences shaped the medieval European landscape.
