    Court and Culture

    Send us Fan Mail This episode is all about culture. How did cultural products play into the political game in the Frankish kingdoms? How did they affect the upper classes? What kind of works are we even talking about? In a place where politics is so dangerous everything that can be used to increase someone's power or influence will become dangerous as well.
