Please forward to all and sundry.

LAST CALL: Issue 16: Alcuin and His Impact

felt far beyond his own period and place. This issue seeks to explore
the man, his times, and his influence on his contemporaries and on
subsequent generations.

conform to The Heroic Age's in-house style. Instructions may be found

Carolingian kingdom(s) and the relationship between empire and
"periphery". Possible topics might include, but not be limited to: the
Spanish March, Carolingians and England and Ireland, the Scandinavian
countries, Carolingian "foreign policy" and trade,
cross-border/cultural/linguistic influences, Italy, Byzantine Empire and

relationships with those borderlands whether political, religious, or
cultural.
