Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the activities and accomplishments of the 8th-century Carolingian Emperor Charlemagne, whose reign is considered by historians as important for the development of the Middle Ages and the continent of Europe. The author, Jean Bodel, used preexisting ballads about Charlemagne to produce a fictionalized but compelling narrative of the most momentous incidents in his rule, including a significant battle against the Saxons. Beginning with Charlemagne's conquest of Saxons, Bodel also uses this book to recount incidents depicting early medieval military strategy, the role of the Catholic Church, and the cultural impact of Charlemagne's court. Additionally, the work provides insights into the medieval concepts of chivalry and bravery on the battlefield, putting the reader into the mindset of Charlemagne and his contemporaries.
