EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic document, dating back to the 9th century, is a testament to the political and cultural connections between the Carolingian Empire and the region of Catalonia during the reign of Charles the Bald (823-877). As King of West France, King of Italy, and Holy Roman Emperor, Charles the Bald held significant power and influence throughout Europe during this period. The parchment, now preserved in an archive, bears the royal seal of Charles the Bald and is addressed to the people of Barcelona. The document, written in Latin, outlines the emperor's grant of certain privileges and immunities to the people of Barcelona and the Marca Hispanica, or Catalan March, a border region between the Carolingian Empire and Muslim Spain. The letter, which is believed to have been issued between 875 and 877, is an important example of the diplomatic correspondence of the Carolingian Empire and the complex political relationships that existed during this period. The document also provides valuable insights into the administrative structures of the empire and the role of the church in mediating diplomatic relations between different territories. The preservation of this original parchment is a testament to the enduring importance of historical records and the rich cultural heritage of the medieval period. The document is now held in a cathedral archive, where it continues to inspire scholars and students of history, politics, and diplomacy.
