Resumen
En el último cuarto del siglo VIII, el reino franco expandió sus dominios territoriales, consolidándose como el hegemón de Occidente. En su configuración, el nuevo "lmperium Christianum" de Carlomagno debía incluir a todo el pueblo cristiano bajo su poder. Los sajones, paganos ubicados en los territorios adyacentes a Austrasia, permanecían insumisos y reticentes a la acción evangelizadora. Las tentativas realizadas por los monjes anglosajones para cristianizarlos no surtieron efecto. Por ello, y en virtud de la nueva alianza entre el reino franco y el orden religioso cristiano, la conversión de los sajones tomó la forma de una guerra de conquista. Para los contemporáneos, ni la conquista podría haber sido llevada a buen puerto sin la cristianización, ni la evangelización habría sido posible sin la conquista.
En esta tesis se describen las guerras por medio de las cuales los sajones fueron conquistados y convertidos a la fe cristiana. Los métodos de control aplicados sobre la población conquistada y las formas de resistencia que éstas produjeron. La aplicación de los métodos de dominación sobre los sajones, no fue del todo aceptada por sus contemporáneos; especialmente importantes al respecto son las críticas que Alcuino, miembro de la corte carolingia, hacia a Carlomagno por la forma en que el rey llevaba la labor de convertir a los paganos sajones.
In the last quarter of the eighth century, the Frankish kingdom expanded its domains, consolidating itself as the hegemonic power in western Europe. In its configuration, Charlemagne's new "lmperium Christianumn had to include all the Christian people under it's power. The Saxons, pagans living in the lands clase to Austrasia, kept on resisting the Christianizatian. The efforts made by the Anglosaxan missionaries in order to bring those pagans inta Christianity, were useless. Due to this fact, and because of the new alliance between the Frankish kingdom and the Christian religious order, the conversion of the old Saxons became a war of conquest. For the contemporaries, neither the conquest would have been possible without Christianization, nor conversion would have been possible without conquest. This work describes the wars by which the Saxons were conquered and converted into Christianity, the methods of control applied upon the conquered population, and the forms of resistance they produced. The application of those methods of domination upan the Saxons, was not at all accepted by their contemporaries; the criticisms that Alcuin, member of the Carolingian court, made to Charlemagne's manner of converting the Saxons, are specially important.
