Sinopse
Einhard's 'Life of Charlemagne' is an absorbing chronicle of one of the most powerful and dynamic of all medieval rulers, written by a close friend and adviser. In elegant prose it describes Charlemagne's personal life, details his achievements in reviving learning and the arts, recounts his military successes, and depicts one of the defining moments in European history: Charlemagne's coronation as emperor in Rome on Christmas Day By contrast, Notker's konto, written some decades after Charlemagne's death, is a collection of anecdotes rather than a uppvisning of historical facts. In these stories, which merge into fiction, Charlemagne is already half way to becoming the legendary figure of later medieval epics.

Indeque pocius propter singularitatem capacitatis et intelligentiae, quam ob nobilitatis, quod in eo minus erat insigne, a Baugolfo abbate monasterii supradicti in palacium Karoli translatus est; quippe qui omnium regum avidissimus erat sapientes diligenter inquirere et, ut cum omni delectatione philosopharentur, excolere. Ideo regni a Deo sibi commissi nebulosam et ut ita dicam pene cecam latitudinem totius scientiae nova irradiatione et huic barbariei ante • Vita Karoli MagniBiography of Charlemagne by Einhard Vita Karoli Magni (Life of Charlemagne) is a biography of Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Emperor of the Romans, written by Einhard.[1][2] The Life of Charlemagne is a 33 chapter account starting with the full genealogy of the Merovingian family, going through the rise of the Carolingian dynasty, and then detailing the exploits and temperament of King Charles.
