Wamers, Egon, and Patrick Périn, editors. Königinnen der Merowinger: Adelsgräber aus den Kirchen von Köln, Saint-Denis, Chelles und Frankfurt am Main. Regensburg: Schnell & Steiner, 2013.
This book presents the findings of a major German-French exhibition focusing on the Merovingian queens and aristocratic burials from several key sites, including the churches in Cologne, Saint-Denis, Chelles, and Frankfurt. Highlighting the archaeological excavations, it provides an in-depth exploration of the rich grave goods and historical context surrounding the burials of prominent Merovingian women, such as Queen Arnegunde, buried at Saint-Denis, and Queen Balthilde, interred at Chelles. The work is richly illustrated with 136 color images, making it a visually and academically significant resource for those studying early medieval European history, art, and archaeology.
This volume is particularly notable for its analysis of grave artefacts, including jewelry and textiles, and its discussion of Christian and pagan burial practices in the Merovingian period. It offers valuable insights into the lives and legacies of these powerful women from one of Europe's earliest ruling dynasties.
Asking $120.
