Carlrichard Brühl

His main research focus in historical science was the Frankish Empire and the subsequent realms of France, Italy and Germany. Brühl wrote numerous studies on the economic basis of medieval kingship in a comparative European perspective, on the sites where rulers exercised their power, and on the travel routes of medieval rulers.[2]
