Acesso em: 02 mar. 2026.e- 1414-6312https://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/29775This article explores the potential circulation of information about the Saxon Wars (772-804 CE) through letters exchanged at the time. Letters from Pope Hadrian I (d. 795) and Alcuin of York (d. 804) were selected for analysis. Hadrian I mentions the campaigns of Charles I (d. 814) against the Saxons in three letters, praising the conversion of the Saxons to Christianity. Alcuin, in turn, writing to various recipients, including Charles I himself, emphasizes the need for moral and religious reform to consolidate Christian rule in Saxony in his 19 analyzed letters. The selected documentation, therefore, exemplifies a potential communication network that circulated news about the conflicts between Carolingians and Saxons during that period, despite often being indirect witnesses of the events.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Guerras saxônicasCartasNotíciasSaxon warsLettersNewsArtigo10.5216/hr.v29i3.81013
