Mohammed and Charlemagne
Henri Pirenne
Discover the fascinating history of Europe during the fifth to ninth centuries with this important classic by Henri Pirenne. In Mohammed and Charlemagne, Pirenne challenges traditional beliefs and argues that without Islam, the Frankish Empire would have never existed and Charlemagne would be inconceivable. Learn how the Muslim conquest of north Africa led to western Europe's separation from the east and enabled the Carolingians to create a distinctly western form of government. An essential read for history buffs and anyone interested in the roots of modern Europe.
