About the Author
Thomas Faulkner was awarded his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2010. Since then he has continued his research independently. He has given papers in Cambridge, Heidelberg, Auxerre, Copenhagen and the Institute of Historical Research in London.

Reviews
'Faulkner offers a valuable exploration of the early medieval, Frankish leges and capitularies, centred on their use and reuse throughout the Carolingian period.' Thom Gobbitt, Early Medieval Europe
