The Trojan War, which is traditionally considered to have occurred in the twelfth century bce, has been one of the most exploited subjects of European culture and history. Not only did it provide some of the most important literary motifs for ancient Greek and Roman culture, but it also played a role in the genesis of the nations of early medieval Europe. The Trojans had an afterlife that connected them to multitudes of subsequent peoples. This study examines the story of the Trojan origins of the Franks from its inception during the Merovingian period to its development under the Carolingians. Considering both textual and manuscript evidence, it discusses the dissemination of the origin story as well as its association with Charlemagne.

从凯撒到查理曼

传统上认为发生在公元前 12 世纪的特洛伊战争是欧洲文化和历史中最受剥削的主题之一。它不仅为古希腊和罗马文化提供了一些最重要的文学主题，而且在中世纪早期欧洲国家的起源中也发挥了作用。特洛伊人的来世将他们与众多后来的民族联系起来。本研究考察了弗兰克人的特洛伊木马起源故事，从墨洛温王朝时期开始到加洛林王朝时期的发展。考虑到文本和手稿证据，它讨论了起源故事的传播以及它与查理曼大帝的关联。
