Dhuoda's situation was poignant. Her husband, Bernard, the count of Septimania, was away and she was separated from her children. As war raged in the crumbling Carolingian Empire, the grieving mother, fearing for the spiritual and physical welfare of her absent sons, began in 841 to write her loving counsel in a handbook.
