283.5关于查理曼传以及盎萨货币(1 / 2)
此前,我一直把中世纪一词跟盎萨英伦时代,混在一起用,
但随着资料的查阅,虽然中世纪可以包含盎萨时代,但跨度太长,用盎萨时代应该更精确点。
本书应该是属于盎萨中期。
不知道为什么盎萨早期的资料,我看到的会比中期多???
就如上章正文所说,到了更之后时期,市场流通的各种货币,非常繁琐,只有相对通用。
肯特是盎萨七国时,第一个发行的,还有联合金币等,埃拉王钱币也是当代。
重新建构货币体系吧,这样就能有明确点的物价观感。
由于查找到了详细的例子,我才决定写英磅(鹰磅),
还有盎萨七国时代媒介日常货币使用,罗马古钱的使用,有空再来讨论。
......
我之前也提过,不少学者讨论指出,查理曼打萨克森,引发北欧大动荡。
异端们瑟瑟发抖抱团,大批人北逃。
我今天看了查理曼传
19. As I have mentioned the Northmen I will show by an incident drawn from the reign of your grandfather in what slight estimation they hold faith and baptism. Just as after the death of the warrior King David, the neighbouring peoples, whom his strong hand had subdued, for a long time paid their tribute to his peaceful son Solomon: even so the terrible race of the Northmen still loyally paid to Lewis the tribute which through terror they had paid to his father, the most august Emperor Charles. Once the most religious Emperor Lewis took pity on their envoys, and asked them if they would be willing to receive the Christian religion; and, when they answered that always and everywhere and in everything they were ready to obey him, he ordered them to be baptised in the name of Him, of whom the most learned Augustine says:“If there were no Trinity, the Truth would never have said:‘Go and teach all peoples, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.’” The nobles of the palace adopted them almost as children, and each received from the emperor’s chamber a white robe and from their sponsors a full Frankish attire, of costly robes and arms and other decorations.
This was often done and from year to year they came in increasing numbers, not for the sake of Christ but for earthly advantage. They made haste to come, not as envoys any longer but as loyal vassals, on Easter Eve to put themselves at the disposal of the emperor; and it happened that on a certain occasion they came to the number of fifty. The emperor asked them whether they wished to be baptised, and when they had confessed he bade them forthwith be sprinkled with holy water. As linen garments were not ready in sufficient numbers he ordered shirts to be cut up and sewn together into the fashion of wraps. One of these was forthwith clapped upon the shoulders of one of the elder men; and when he had looked all over it for a minute, he conceived fierce anger in his mind, and said to the emperor:“I have gone through this washing business here twenty times already, and I have been dressed in excellent clothes of perfect whiteness; but a sack like this is more fit for clodhoppers than for soldiers. If I were not afraid of my nakedness, for you have taken away my own clothes and have given me no new ones, I would soon leave your wrap and your Christ as well.”
这是正文。
查理大帝传(Vita Karoli Magni),是一部9世纪记录查理大帝生平的历史书籍,共有两篇,第一篇由艾因哈德所著,第二篇由圣高尔修道院僧侣(佚其名)所著。历史学家通常认为这部作品是第一部记录欧洲国王的作品。艾因哈德被认为在这部作品中模仿了苏埃托尼乌斯的《罗马十二帝王传》。
起源成书等,我就不细说了。
