Descriptionof L'assedio di Pavia
Manufacturer

The book reconstructs a key episode in medieval Italian history: Charlemagnes conquest of Pavia following the siege of 773774. This event sealed the fall of the Lombard Kingdom to the Franks and thus laid the foundation for the emergence of the medieval empire. The study traces all available source evidence regarding this siegeabout which little direct information exists, despite its significance. It also outlines the political context of Charlemagnes campaign, examining the situation of the Frankish realm and the Lombard Kingdom under Desiderius, as well as the role of the popes. A substantial portion of the book is devoted to theoften challengingcontemporary accounts of these events and the subsequent rise of legends (even in later eras); these narratives sometimes offer fascinating insights that complement the sparse data found in the primary sources.
