The *Making of Charlemagne’s Europe (MKCHEUR, eISBN is 978-1-912466-28-3) project aimed to model and analyse early medieval legal charters from Charlemagne’s reign using a highly structured “factoid” data approach, enabling complex historical relationships to be encoded and queried. Its primary outcome was a digital scholarly resource that extends earlier prosopographical databases by refining and adapting charter-based data structures for this corpus. Methodologically, it is rooted in digital humanities practices, employing formal data modelling, database design, and computational structuring of historical sources to support analysis, interoperability, and long-term reuse.
