ANCIENT MEDIEVAL CHRISTIAN CONVERT'S CROSS 9th CENTURY

Item Details

Description

Gilt bronze. Complying with Charlemagne's order that all conquered peoples convert to Christianity under penalty of death! The Franks rose to power and in 800 AD Charlemagne was the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Northern Europe and later Italy fell to his armies. The condition for peace was acceptance of Christianity, under penalty of death. Conversion was effective and Northern Europeans, primarily Saxons, wore small crosses to affirm their Christianity. This cross is one of those, dating 800-1000 AD. Slightly under 1" height, the cross beam at center with central circle enclosing a double bar cross. The back flat. Sand cast provincial manufacture.
