About the event
We’re thrilled to be hosting the paperback launch of Matthew Gabriele and David M. Perry’s Oathbreakers: The War of Brothers That Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe. Gabriele and Perry’s history of the Carolingian Civil War was described as “a real-life Game of Thrones” by the New York Times. Author Harry Turtledove calls it, “Popular history as it should be written—intelligent and wry, with some snarky digs at modern times despite nominally being about the 9th-century Franks.”
Gabriele and Perry will both be here to talk about the book and answer everything you ever wanted to ask a medievalist. RSVPs are not required but always appreciated for headcount.
