ABSTRACT
This chapter gives a glimpse of prophecy in the politics in the Frankish world in the latter half of the ninth century. This chapter surveys the world in which the will of God is openly invoked in historical writing; where kings claimed direct visions and others crafted historical visions for political debate and commentary; where rulers requested commentaries on biblical prophets in great numbers; and where individuals claimed to be prophets and prophetesses and preached their revelations to all who would listen.
