At the heart of this work is the construction of political power and its legitimacy from the end of the 3rd century to the beginning of the 7th century, in a period in which the Roman Empire found itself facing new challenges, including the fragmentation of its political space caused by the arrival and installation of new barbarian protagonists on its soil, as well as the Christianization of power. These three and a half centuries, from the reign of Aurelian to the Fourth Council of Toledo, due to the multiplicity of political actors and the coexistence of different models of legitimation, were an age of experimentation from which the model of medieval royalty was constructed in Europe.
