Detalles del libro
'To the Franks, Catalonia was the province that got away, while to the Crown of Aragon the area brought cultural and commercial contacts from beyond the Pyrenees and into the Mediterranean. Chandler studies the central influence of the Carolingian rulers on Catalonia, not to illustrate the creation of sovereign nationhood on the advent of the Capetians, but to illuminate the area as a component element of Charlemagne's empire. Recommended.' L. C. Attreed, Choice
