Description
Charlemagne's name shines out over the historical landscape, illuminating the Dark Ages and anticipating the Renaissance.
These two Lives provide a fascinating contrast, Einhard, who spent twenty-three years in Charlemagne's service, chose to approach his Vita Caroli as a public history and in beautifully expressed language, recounts Charlemagne's personal life and his achievements in warfare, learning, art, building, and in the skilful administration of the state.
