according to Salic Frankish law, the legal SONS of his daughters had a strong claim to this throne, which is big competition for the heirs of his sons, which has proven throughout history to be a problem : way too many heirs...in a big family, and if daughters were married to rival princes, a possible even more rivalrous relationships developing between cousins all for his throne . this is a big consideration when you have a large and mighty kingdom worth fighting over, and rival prince sons in law pushing to get the throne for themselves, and their heirs. it actually makes perfect sense that Charlemagne felt this way, and is not as selfish as it appears, as civil war is often the result from different factions who all have equal rights to the throne. the whole reason why other princes, kings or lords wanted to marry his daughters was to have access to his kingdom, which just makes rivals for charlemagne s sons and grandkids

The Carolingian Franks, in particular Charles' court, is my current field. I really appreciate your sticking to the sources and not making wild accusations based on our modern views of relationships. Of course, once Charles was dead, Louis had his sisters split from their families and expelled from the palace- he disposed of them by sending them off to be abbesses. Mind you, they were very well educated and it was possibly a practical move, but the chroniclers all indicate that he was offended by their licentiousness. At least that was his excuse. Given his own relationships with his wives, I suspect that there's more than a little misogyny rattling around in his head.

I'm a bit hampered at the moment because I'm, not home, I'm 120 miles away at my daughter's, and don't have access to my books. What I can remember off the top of my head, Rotrude, who had once been affianced to the Byzantine heir (this didn't go through, which was probably a good thing, since he was the son of Irena, who later had him deposed, emasculated, and blinded) was probably the best known for her scholarship. Something that is interesting to compare is the various accounts from different sources. Einhard definitely shows Charles as the pater familias, rather indulgent but clearly very attached to the girls. The writer known as 'the Astronomer' was writing during Louis' reign, and like other writers, conformed more to the mores of the time. he's the one who goes off the rails a bit, making the women of the palace into a veritable cesspit of sin, and responsible for the moral decay of Charles' court. Suuuure. Nithard and the Royal Frankish Annals are more neutral. Janet Nelson (AKA 'Jinty') has some interesting observations on the subject, and Mayke de Jong has also done some work in that area. I don't remember if Rosemary McKetterick addresses them, but it would be worth looking.

Cultural differences, probably. Charlemagne was an early Christian so it likely wasn't as much of a cultural practice to lock up promiscuous/willful daughters in his time and culture. Charlemagne seems to have loved and respected his daughters deeply, so there's personal reasons. He was also technically an illegitimate child himself as his parents were bound by Friedelehe contract and not officially married till later. Northern European women tended to have more social autonomy than Southern European ones too, depending on time and place. Charlemagne also lived in the time before the Church had totally broken up clan structures, so his daughters having illegitimate children by local men meant the kids (probably) wouldn't be a legal (like inheritance) or social (being foreign) threat.

To believe this one must understand the horrific chaos and carnage of the fratricidal wars the Merovingians had engaged on. His son was a weakling and his grandsons split the empire. If his daughters had been married to great lords of Europe their descendants might have competed for the empire even worse than they did. I have always thought very cruel how royal parents treated their daughters in the middle ages. He may have been the exception.

Apparently, Charlemagne is considered by some to be the "All Father " of European (White) people. Some think that there are many direct descendants of this King.

@@MrBastilleDay marriage wasn’t a Christian sacrament until the 13th century, in my history class our teacher said it was a later reinterpretation to say he had one wife and then concubines, because it was common for rich men to have multiple wives until it became a sacrement. A good portion of Europe wasn’t even Christian until the 11th century. Heck Lithuania and parts of Poland and Russia didn’t become Christian until the 13th century.

Oh ffs wise up. If you looked into the subject the horses that were used for war were very well trained, they were also trained to kill, they weren't just ridden, a trained warhorse could disembowel you among other things. They were very well looked after and would have lived better than most peasants and more than likely quite liked a battle, now when you get to the world wars especially the first one that's when they suffered more but sadly it was necessary.
