English summary: In the historical records, we know of no less than five wives of Carolingian rulers who were publically accused of immoral behavior and sexual profligacy. In the studies contained in this collection, these accusations are used as a point of departure for an analysis of those processes through which lordship was negotiated in the complex relationship of king, queen, and magnates in the early Middle Ages. German description: Gegen nicht weniger als funf Gemahlinnen karolingischer Herrscher sind schwere offentliche Vorwurfe von Unzucht uberliefert. In der vorliegenden Studie dienen diese Vorwurfe als Zugriffspunkte zu einer Analyse der Aushandlungsprozesse von Herrschaft im komplexen Verhaltnis von Konig, Konigin und Grossen im fruhen Mittelalter.
