Mayke de Jong’s project is about political thought, rhetoric, and action in the decades after the rebellions against Louis the Pious in the 830s. Her focus is on the “Epitaphium Arsenii,” a major polemical narrative that has been a mainstay for modern historiography about “the decline of the Carolingians.”
