Key quote: “Altogether with the scholar administrators of the Carolingian Empire, we're dealing with a singularly purposeful body of men.”
The host references Peter Brown's book to highlight the unique nature of Charlemagne's rule and the emergence of a common culture in medieval Europe. This context is essential for understanding the foundations of European identity that would evolve long after Charlemagne's reign.
