Nelson. She first examines King Alfred of Wessex (871-99) in the context of Anglo-Saxon conditions and in comparison with his Carolingian contemporaries. When tension and conflict within the royal family are highlighted, she argues that Alfred's talents and political thought emerge the more impressively. A second group of papers deals with the reign of Charles the Bald (840-77): his patronage of learning and his interest in Spanish martyrs are set in political context, while contemporary historiography is considered as a form of counsel and critique. The third section reflects Nelson's growing interest in the political importance and gendered roles of royal women. Consecration rites are analysed as ritual expressions and factors in the shaping of the queenship, while two final papers also examine the making and unmaking of Frankish kings and princes. 410 0$aCollected studies ;$vCS657. 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 606 $aKings and rulers, Medieval 606 $aMonarchy$zEurope 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yTo 987 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yAlfred, 871-899 607 $aWessex (England)$xHistory 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 615 0$aKings and rulers, Medieval. 615 0$aMonarchy 676 $a940.1 700 $aNelson$b Janet L$g(Janet Laughland),$f1942-$0250989 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861019803321 996 $aRulers and ruling families in early medieval Europe$94167881 997 $aUNINA
