Summary:	"Bavaria was a very important country during the early Middle Ages. This is the first full-length study of the entire evolution of Bavarian rule from the mid-sixth century into the early ninth century. It explores the changing strategies adopted by its dukes and then its first king to establish their authority and maintain their autonomy in the face of evolving challenges to their rule."--Jacket.
