Il saggio analizza l'azione militare di Carlo Magno e l'attività missionaria durante la lunga e difficile guerra per la conquista e la conversione della Sassonia. L'evangelizzazione della Sassonia non era priva di contraddizioni e ripensamenti, come dimostrano alcune lettere di Alcuino di York che illustrano come il clero carolingio si sia trovato ad agire in un contesto ambiguo.
