Autor
Mayke De Jong (Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands)
Epitaph for an Era is the first major study of the Epitaphium Arsenii, a polemical dialogue defending the courtier Wala's revolt in 830-833 against Emperor Louis the Pious. Mayke de Jong explores the impact of these controversial rebellions on the ideals and values of the Frankish leadership in the next generation.
