Abstract
This monographic section contains some partial approaches to the problem of the collapse of early medieval kingdoms during 8th and 9th centuries. Different cases of study are analysed: the Visigothic kingdom and Northwestern Iberia, the Lombard kingdom, Mercia, the Post-Carolingian evolution in a regional scale and the Great Moravia. The understanding of early medieval polities and their fluidity is the aim of all papers. The frequent breakdown of the kingdoms was not a proof of a supposed fragility, if not a usual solution to sociopolitical stress. Sometimes, the end of the kingdoms involved a decline of socio-political complexity, so the theoretical framework of the study of collapse could be useful.
