Prosopografie familiari e scelte politiche fra Aquitania e Austrasia. La famiglia di Desiderio vescovo di Cahors (fine VI - metà VII secolo)

The essay examines the strategies employed by an aristocratic family to assert its status through the construction of a vast landed estate between the cities of Albi and Cahors from the late 6th to the mid-7th century. This consolidation of power occurred both through access to high-ranking political and religious offices—also as part of a strategy to diversify the careers of individual family members—and through alignment with the political orientations of the Merovingian court."
