In the Carolingian period, the prospect of individual death, the universal end times and the Last Judgement gave rise to a sense of taking a critical view of current conditions and governing in a reform-oriented manner. This volume examines the intertwining of eschatological thinking and political action, particularly during the reigns of Charlemagne (768-814) and Louis the Pious (814-840).
