This recent era generated untold numbers of popular academic reflections studies on most famous ruler Carolingian dynasty, part because position enduring myths Europe, its pasts, potential futures. Albrecht Classen's 2021 contribution ongoing scholarship Charlemagne is less a study than it survey an important topic literary cultural history.

A Theory of External Wars and European Parliaments | Brenton Kenkel|Jack Paine | 2,023 | Abstract The development of parliamentary constraints on the executive was critical in Western European political history.

Yet at other times, war threats empowered rulers over elites or caused states fragment. We analyze formal model understand how can either stimulate undermine prospects contractual relationship between ruler and elite actors. recover standard intuition that make more grant revenue. Our insight is also affect bargaining position elites. A previously unrecognized tension yields our new findings: stronger outsider increase pressure fund accept constraints—but not both simultaneously. Elites immobile wealth depend security. War undercut their credibility refuse funding an unconstrained ruler. By contrast, mobile viable exit option unwilling hopeless effort.

However, these pyrotechnological installations still seldom target interdisciplinary investigations. To fill this gap our knowledge, an updraft kiln firing experiment was run at Campus Galli open-air museum (southern Germany) by team consisting experimental archaeologists, material scientists, geoarchaeologists, and palaeobotanists. The entire process from preparation raw materials to opening carefully recorded with particular focus on study used for pottery making, as well fuel usage. temperatures were monitored thermocouples placed positions combustion chambers. In addition, installed within wall measure temperature distribution inside structure itself. Unfired controlled experimentally thermally altered ceramic samples then characterised integrated analysis including petrography, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), portable fluorescence (pXRF). Our work provides data about mineralogical microstructural developments both structures ceramics produced type installations.
