Translated by Daniel De Leon
'The Carlovingian Coins; Or, The Daughters of Charlemagne' is a historical novel by Eugène Sue, likely written in the late 19th century. Part of the series 'The Mysteries of the People,' it follows Vortigern, a young Breton hostage, and his grandfather Amael as they navigate the complexities of life under Charlemagne's rule. The story explores themes of loyalty, identity, and love against the backdrop of political turmoil and cultural conflict in 9th-century Brittany and the Frankish Empire.
