Для начала, - никакого Шарлеманя без Папы вообще не было бы. The Franks The Franks were one of the many barbarian groups that had invaded the western Roman Empire, settling in what would become France and sections of Germany. Pippin became king of the Franks in 755, with the support of Pope Stephen II (752-757), who viewed the military power of the Franks as protection against the Lombards, who controlled most of Italy. Pippin and his son Charles, known as "the Great," (Charlemagne) protected the popes against Lombard attacks. In 774, Charlemagne took full control of Northern Italy from the Lombards. Charlemagne significantly expanded the frontiers oh his empire, which came to include France, Germany, Catalonia in Spain, and Northern Italy. http://aromagosa.easycgi.com/christianh А здесь вообще очень много полезного насчёт христианского воспитания полудиких монархов Европы, и как Алкуин осуществлял свою миссию, сначала - как легат (посол) при дворе юного Шарлеманя задолго до того, как был приглашен уже воцарившимся Карлом Великим ко двору. "By the command of Eanbald I, the Archbishop of York, the successor of Elcbert, he went to Rome to obtain the pallium for the archbishop from the Apostolic — that is, Hadrian I. On his way back with the pallium he met King Karl in the city of Parma.^ The king addressed him with great persuasiveness and many prayers, begging that after completing his embassage he would come and join him in France. The king had become acquainted with him some years before, for Alcuin had been sent on a legation to him by the arch- bishop of the time.^"* We may interrupt our author's narrative at this point to state that the fact and the date of this former visit to Karl are recorded in the Life of Hadrian I, as also the further fact, not here hinted at, that Karl on that occasion sent Alcuin on to Rome. "In the year 773 Karl sent to Hadrian an embassy, consisting of the most holy bishop ^ We can date this meeting fairly closely by the fact that Karl granted a privilegium to Parma on March 15, 781. 22 ALCUIN OP YORK. George,^ the religious abbat Uulfhard,^ and the king's favourite counsellor Albinus/' We may now return to the author of the Life. He tells us, to quote his own words, that when Karl begged Alcuin to come to him, Alcuin desired to do what would be useful, and there- fore asked permission of his own king, Alfwald, and of his archbishop, Eanbald I, to leave his mastership of the School of York. He obtained permission, but on condition that he should in time come back to them. Under Christ's guidance he came to Karl. Karl embraced him as his father,^ by whom he had been introduced to the liberal arts, in the study of which he could be somewhat cooled, but in his fervour he could never be too completely saturated with them. After Alcuin had spent some little time with him, he gave him two monasteries, that of Bethlehem, otherwise called Ferrieres,* and that of St. Lupus ^ of Troyes. http://archive.org/stream/lettersofalcu Добавить комментарий: |
