Oathbreakers
The War of Brothers That Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe“While all of this is the sort of stuff that professional medievalists love to see, the thing I like most about Perry and Gabriele’s effort is that it is fun. The Bright Ages is written in such an engaging and light manner that it is easy to race through. I found myself at the end of chapters faster than I wanted to be, completely drawn in by the narrative. You can tell how much the authors love the subject matter, and that they had a great time choosing stories to share and evidence to consider.” — Slate on The Bright Ages "Incandescent and ultimately intoxicating, for as the chapters progress, it dawns on the reader that those who lived in this period were more conventional than cardboard figures. . . . They were, in essence, human." — Boston Globe on The Bright Ages "This revisionist history of medieval Europe takes apart the myth of a savage, primitive period . . . with passion and verve, [Gabriele and Perry challenge] the reader to tackle assumptions, bias and prejudices about the past to create a more joined-up, inclusive picture of the thousand years that followed the sack of Rome." — Peter Frankopan, Guardian, on The Bright Ages “It could be said that much of the history of early medieval Europe can be traced to this dramatic—if too little known—episode. In Oathbreakers, Messrs. Gabriele and Perry give it an erudite and readable presentation.” — Wall Street Journal “This rousing history of a real-life Game of Thrones details the ninth-century battle among Charlemagne’s heirs for control of his empire.” — New York Times Book Review “….a vivid and engaging narrative of the political events of the early ninth century.” — TLS (UK) “…as shocking, dramatic, and action-packed as any novel.” — BookBub, “These Nonfiction Books Are Perfect Beach Reads” “Cheer yourself up. . . . Take the medieval exit from 21st century troubles and enjoy some ninth-century strife and schooling.” — Rebecca Solnit "Lively writers, the authors cast a critical eye on the surviving sources, delivering a painless education on how historians try to determine what actually happened from fragmentary and wildly biased accounts. A scholarly and entertaining history of warring brothers." — Kirkus "Though the events in Oathbreakers are distant in time, Gabriele and Perry describe them with an immediacy that's both informative and entertaining. . . . [revealing] that the emotions driving the actors in the Carolingian drama—ambition, greed, and the lust for power—are in fact as timely as today's headlines." — Shelf Awareness “Popular history as it should be written—intelligent and wry, with some snarky digs at modern times despite nominally being about the 9th-century Franks. Highly recommend.” — Harry Turtledove, award-winning author of The Guns of the South “History buffs will enjoy this tale of fathers and sons, rebellion and betrayal, promises made and broken, plots and intrigue, and ultimately oaths taken and broken.” — The Denver Post “For such a significant event as the Carolingian Civil War, it’s surprising how few books cover the topic in depth. Even more surprising is how well-written and accessible this one is—perfect for history enthusiasts.” — Medievalists.net “The ‘Holy Roman Empire’ reached a state of peace, however tenuous. But Charlemagne’s heirs had greater ambitions. The empire fell into civil war, as sons fought fathers and one another. This set the stage for Europe’s Middle Ages. Historians Gabriele and Perry (The Bright Ages, 2022) plumb resources from the era to narrate the story of these internecine struggles….This is a serious, meticulous history that will also appeal to Game of Thrones fans, who will discover intriguing parallels between history and fiction.” — Booklist “Matthew Gabriele and David M. Perry do an excellent job of detailing a complex story of shifting alliances and bitter conflict, creating an intricate portrait of Medieval strife that rivals any episode of Game of Thrones. Oathbreakers is historical writing at its finest.” — Chicago Review of Books, “12 Must-Read Books of December 2024” “Full of twists and turns, family feuds, and destabilizing coups, the authors make the ninth century come alive with an engaging read that doesn’t skimp on academic rigor." — Arlington Magazine, “10 New Books to Read in December” “Through subtle readings of biased chronicles and documents, Gabriele and Perry dispel the romantic aura of the Carolingian era, depicting it as an entertaining but gruesome medieval picaresque of power-hungry plots, murders, and—stomach-churningly—blindings. The authors also shrewdly explore the Franks’ genuine belief in the sacredness of kingship—and especially of royal oaths—that kept such a violent system in motion. The result is an enlightening portrait of the medieval mindset.” — Publishers Weekly

The Bright Ages
"The beauty and levity that Perry and Gabriele have captured in this book are what I think will help it to become a standard text for general audiences for years to come....The Bright Ages is a rare thing?a nuanced historical work that almost anyone can enjoy reading.??Slate "Incandescent and ultimately intoxicating." ?The Boston Globe A lively and magisterial popular history that refutes common misperceptions of the European Middle Ages, showing the beauty and communion that flourished alongside the dark brutality?a brilliant reflection of humanity itself. The word ?medieval? conjures images of the ?Dark Ages??centuries of ignorance, superstition, stasis, savagery, and poor hygiene. But the myth of darkness obscures the truth; this was a remarkable period in human history. The Bright Ages recasts the European Middle Ages for what it was, capturing this 1,000-year era in all its complexity and fundamental humanity, bringing to light both its beauty and its horrors. The Bright Ages takes us through ten centuries and crisscrosses Europe and the Mediterranean, Asia and Africa, revisiting familiar people and events with new light cast upon them. We look with fresh eyes on the Fall of Rome, Charlemagne, the Vikings, the Crusades, and the Black Death, but also to the multi-religious experience of Iberia, the rise of Byzantium, and the genius of Hildegard and the power of queens. We begin under a blanket of golden stars constructed by an empress with Germanic, Roman, Spanish, Byzantine, and Christian bloodlines and end nearly 1,000 years later with the poet Dante?inspired by that same twinkling celestial canopy?writing an epic saga of heaven and hell that endures as a masterpiece of literature today. The Bright Ages reminds us just how permeable our manmade borders have always been and of what possible worlds the past has always made available to us. The Middle Ages may have been a world ?lit only by fire? but it was one whose torches illuminated the magnificent rose windows of cathedrals, even as they stoked the pyres of accused heretics. The Bright Ages contains an 8-page color insert.
