Sommario/riassunto

This work recounts the history of an exceptional ninth-century religious outlaw, Gottschalk of Orbais - a priest who developed a controversial, Augustinian-based theology of predestination that directly contradicted Carolingian beliefs, showing how the Carolingian Empire preserved order within the Frankish Christian church through coercive reform.
