From Rome and Constantinople to the rise of the T'ang Dynasty, from the birth of Muhammad to the crowning of Charlemagne, this book tells the fascinating, violent story of kings, generals and the peoples they ruled. In her earlier work Bauer wrote of the rise of kingship based on might. But in the years between the fourth and 12th centuries, rulers had to find new justificaiton for their power, and they turned to diving truth or grace to justify political and military action.
