De ordine palatii

De ordine palatii (On the governance of the palace) is a treatise written by Hincmar, archbishop of Rheims, in 882 for Carloman II on the occasion of his accession to the throne of West Francia.

It claims to be based on a treatise of the same name by Adalhard, who was an adviser to Emperor Charlemagne and abbot of the monastery of Corbie, although this document has not survived.

In the treatise, Hincmar outlined the duties of a king and a system for the organisation of his palace, in an apparent attempt to restore Carolingian government to the form it had under Louis the Pious.

gollark: Turns out it was just accessing some process manager logic which wasn't available in the specific context it was running.
gollark: So I had to screen-record it and play it back slowly.
gollark: There was a fun issue in potatOS a while ago where it errored at startup, but some other process cleared the screen after initialization so I couldn't read the error.
gollark: I've got a reasonably functional "orbital laser" control system, just no actual orbital lasers on any visited server, because they tend to randomly shoot each other (and my important stuff) because I can't make the claims work out properly.
gollark: I really ought to deploy that on CNLite or something and tie it to the orbital lasers.
