The deconstruction of the feudal system includes basic elements of the early medieval social order. This volume proposes a new theory for understanding one of the most critical elements of social order and interaction in the Carolingian dynasty during the decades around 800: military organization. The new theory links collective and personal structures in order to furnish a unique model of social order.
