Abstract:
Examines the influence of Old Testament heroes - e.g. important leaders (Moses, Joshua), kings (Saul, David, Solomon) and prophets (Samuel) - on the kings and clergymen of the Carolingian Empire. Texts of the period show that they often likened themselves to biblical leaders in order to give more authority to their political views and actions, and even called their French populace "the New Israel".
