Focusing on the Carolingian empire, the book explores the political and cultural dynamics between its center and the periphery, particularly in Brittany during the ninth and tenth centuries. It examines the interplay of imperial policies, local aristocratic conflicts, and Breton communities, highlighting the impact of Carolingian rule on local structures and identity. The text discusses economic and social aspects, the blending of Celtic and Carolingian cultures, and emphasizes the significance of regional autonomy in understanding the empire's rise and fall.
