The Carlovingian Coins Or The Daughters of Charlemagne A Tale of the Ninth Century eBook Eugène Sue Daniel De Leon
I know nothing about the genre of writing here. I suspect Sue was writing an epic tale based around historical circumstances. As he wrote thus in Victorian times, I suspect it is a tale about charlemagnian times written through the lens of 19th century France. His writing is delightful and he was obviously a student of the epic tales written a few centuries before. The story is written about (in two parts) the partial conquest of Gaul by the franks. The first part is about how a brave warrior from Breton is taken honorably captive and transported to aid la chappelle for the enjoyment of Charlemagne. Vortigen soon catches the eye of one of Charlemagne's daughters and during an excursion they have a meaningful heart to heart and she gives him her token of a few carlovingian coins that have sentimental value to her eventually the warrior has to return to Breton. End part 1. The next part is seven yearslater. Louis the pious is now emporer and sends soldiers to take bBrittany. The young warrior is now married with children and leads the defense. They fight valiantly to the end and the franks achieve a pyrrhic victory and cease further incursions into Gaul after the conquest of Brittany. The enjoyment in this simple story is that honor and virtue are clearly exemplified. Something terribly romantic in this day in age.. a fun read (and part of a serial of other epic tales), I may just have to read a few more now.Product details

The Carlovingian Coins Or The Daughters of Charlemagne A Tale of the Ninth Century eBook Eugène Sue Daniel De Leon Reviews
The Carlovingian Coins; or, The Daughters of Charlemagne by Eugene Sue, set in the 9th century, is the 9th volume of a history of France in novel form. The first part takes place is the court of Charlemagne at Aix-la Chapelle in the year 811 where two Gauls, old Amael and his grandson Vortigern, are hostages taken by Charlemagne's Frankish troops in an unsuccessful attempt to conquer Brittany. Charlemagne attempts to convince them of the benefits to Brittany were they to capitulate and become a part of his vast empire. They argue back for their independence, saying if he did conquer, they would never submit, and constantly be preparing a revolt that would be a drain on him. They convince him to leave Brittany alone so he can focus his resources on other enemies.
Part two takes place 7 years later when Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious attacks Brittany, and shows Vortigern leading the fierce resistance of the Gallic people defending their last homeland.
Amael, who is now ancient, was the young warrior of the previous novel in the series, The Abbatial Crosier, which was set set in the year 737 AD. Each book stands on its own, but together they show the ongoing struggle between the native Gauls of France and their Frankish conquerors.
TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE
The Age of Charlemagne is the watershed of the history of the present era. The rough barbarian flood that poured over Western Europe reaches in that age a turning point of which Charlemagne is eminently the incarnation. The primitive physical features of the barbarian begin to be blunted, or toned down by a new force that has lain latent in him, but that only then begins to step into activity--the spiritual, the intellectual powers. The Age of Charlemagne is the age of the first conflict between the intellectual and the brute in the principal branches of the races that occupied Europe. The conflict raged on a national scale, and it raged in each particular individual. The colossal stature, physical and mental, of Charlemagne himself typifies the epoch. Brute instincts of the most primitive and savage, intellectual aspirations of the loftiest are intermingled, each contends for supremacy--and alternately wins it, in the monarch, in his court and in his people.
The Carlovingian Coins; or, The Daughters of Charlemagne is the ninth of the brilliant series of historical novels written by Eugene Sue under the title, The Mysteries of the People; or, History of a Proletarian Family Across the Ages. The age and its people are portrayed in a charming and chaste narrative, that is fittingly and artistically brought to a close by a veritable epopee--the Frankish conquest of Brittany, and, as fittingly, serves to introduce the next epopee-- the Northman's invasion of Gaul--dealt with in the following story, The Iron Arrow Head; or, The Buckler Maiden.
