The Life Of Charlemagne

At our next Western Civilization meeting, we'll discuss the life and reign of Charlemagne (Charles the Great), his expansion of the Frankish kingdom, his relationship with the Church, and his role in the development of medieval Europe.
Our starting point will be Eginhard’s (Einhard’s) Life of Charlemagne. For anyone who would like to read in advance, it is available free in Early Lives of Charlemagne on Project Gutenberg. We'll focus on Eginhard’s biography, the first of the two accounts in the volume. Advance reading is optional.

Please join us if you can.
