How could Carolingian lay nobles maintain their masculinity and their social position, while adhering to new and stricter moral demands by reformers concerning behaviour in war, sexual conduct and the correct use of power? This book explores the complex interaction between Christian moral ideals and social realities, and between religious reformers and the lay political elite they addressed. It uses the numerous texts addressed to a lay audience (including lay mirrors, secular poetry, political polemic, historical writings and legislation) to examine how biblical and patristic moral ideas were reshaped to become compatible with the realities of noble life in the Carolingian empire. This innovative analysis of Carolingian moral norms demonstrates how gender interacted with political and religious thought to create a distinctive Frankish elite culture, presenting a new picture of early medieval masculinity. 410 0$aCambridge studies in medieval life and thought ;$v4th ser., 81. 517 3 $aMorality & Masculinity in the Carolingian Empire 606 $aCarolingians$xConduct of life 606 $aNobility$zFrance$xConduct of life 606 $aChristian ethics$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMoral education$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMasculinity$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yTo 987 607 $aFrance$xSocial conditions$yTo 987 615 0$aCarolingians$xConduct of life. 615 0$aNobility$xConduct of life. 615 0$aChristian ethics$xHistory 615 0$aMoral education$xHistory 615 0$aMasculinity$xHistory 676 $a944/.014 700 $aStone$b Rachel$0936038 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457533703321 996 $aMorality and masculinity in the Carolingian empire$92458886 997 $aUNINA
