Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of medieval period continues with an episode on the Carolingian armies, as we look how Charlemagne as well as his predecessors and successors formed the Frankish armies. Did you know Charlemagne’s army wasn’t feudal at all? This video dives deep into the true structure of the Carolingian military system — one of the most complex and misunderstood armies of the early Middle Ages. From the capitularies of Charlemagne to the role of free Frankish warriors, we explore how the Carolingian Empire organized, equipped, and mobilized its forces across Europe. Historians have long debated whether the Carolingian army was based on warbands, universal conscription, or patron–client networks. Through sources like the Annales Regni Francorum and decrees such as the Capitulare missorum de exercitu promovendo, this episode uncovers the real logistics, recruitment systems, and aristocratic loyalties that powered the Frankish war machine. We trace the evolution of the army from Roman imperial traditions to the rise of mounted elites and magnates — and how this transformation laid the foundations for medieval Europe. Was Charlemagne’s empire built on loyalty, law, or legacy? Join us as we reveal how the Carolingians fought, ruled, and shaped the world that followed.
