Einhardian geography and the tenth‐century Abodrites.

The Abodrites, a Slavic people who lived in present‐day north‐eastern Germany, are only attested four times between 895 and 966. In this essay, I argue that most of these attestations derive not from an accurate rendering of historical events but from use of the geography of Einhard's Vita Karoli ma...

As best can be reconstructed, the tenth‐century Abodrites had greatly decreased political power and controlled a much smaller territory than their ninth‐century forebears or eleventh‐century successors.
