An excellent article, just got directed here by another substacker, Morgthorak really love history (I'm French and a history major). This was a pretty well written article.

Superbe, any chance of Charlemagne essays also?

Yeah, I could do that. Charlemagne actually ties in well with Napoleon, great suggestion.

Hehehe sure, tbh I'm currently researching for a series of Angevin articles, and planning to finish uploading my Merovingian podcast. But am thinking about doing a Carolingian set of essays.

It'd be great to read yours and you're more than welcome as I thought it might tie in well with your excellent Napoleon articles.

Can I ask which one you prefer, just out of curiosity? I myself, am a great admirer of Charlemagne, and think him fairly underrated these days.

I'd probably pick Charlemagne. He was the Father of Europe, and an heir to the post-classical Roman Empire.

I've written a few articles on France's medieval history, under the "Middle Ages" tab: https://hothistory.substack.com/t/middle-ages

We're of one mind then!

And France's Medieval History is the best! Only those of Scotland & Japan rival her for how fascinating they can be! Sorry kind of biased, but I'll definitely check your other doubtlessly excellent articles.
