Produktinformationen zu „Burgundians in the Mist (ePub)“

The Burgundian Kingdom of the sixth century occupied dangerous territory. Caught between powerful neighbors, it was doomed to attack and the Burgundians vanished into the mists of time, consigned to the annals as just another victim of history.

The Burgundian society of the fifth and sixth centuries successfully integrated both Roman culture and societal institutions. The result was an amalgamated Romano-Burgundian kingdom that had laws for all and tolerated two forms of Christianity. In this, the Burgundians, particularly the kingdom of Gundobad, provided a brief foreshadowing of the culture that would eventually emerge from the intermixing of Gallo-Romans, Christians and Germans.

The Burgundians have often been cast as bit players in the history of the Merovingian Franks. This book attempts to put them at center stage within the context of recent scholarship regarding interpretations of Germanic society, the Fall of Rome and other contentious subjects.

Autoren-Porträt von Marc Comtois

Marc Comtois was born in Vermont, and after a brief sojourn in Massachusetts, moved to the small town of Levant, Maine. He attended college at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and received a degree in Marine Engineering. After he spent a few years working in the merchant marine, he and his wife settled in Rhode Island. While working towards his Master's Degree in History from Providence College, he became interested in the Germanic migrations, the "Fall of Rome" and the late antiquity period of history. In particular, he was intrigued by the short-lived Kingdom of the Burgundians. Burgundians in the Mist is a result of his research.

Mr. Comtois currently lives in Warwick, Rhode Island with his wife and two daughters.
