On Christmas Day, 800, Charlemagne was crowned "Emperor of the Romans" by Pope Leo III.

Under his guidance the Carolingian Renaissance flourished, with his capital of Aachen becoming a center of learning and artistic genius.

The legacy of Charlemagne on European history and culture is monumental. Yet, within 30 years of his death, his empire had fragmented.

Who was this legendary ruler? How had he managed to rule these vast domains? And why has his legacy continued to influence Europeans to this day?

E. R. Chamberlin's masterful biography of Charlemagne demonstrates the sheer force of will that this charismatic leader was able to command as he created a realm to rival the Byzantines in the east.

Through the course of the book Chamberlin brings to life how Charlemagne forged his empire and uncovers the people, the religious and political controversies, the social and agricultural conditions, and the changes in warfare that took place more than 1,000 years ago.

A very thorough analysis and look into history and everyday life, also gives reasoning for the thought process of the times. Brings the people to life which makes it an excellent book. The narration is perfect..

Brilliant!

The history started out well, very much based on primary sources. However about halfway through the author begins to impose his own bias, his own perspective upon civilization from a 1000 years ago. I really want to give this 5 stars but the moral lecture he gives tainted the book for me.

Good history tainted by authors bias

Why write a book that can be neither read nor listened to, especially on such a compelling topic? I can only conclude that the author wrote it for himself. The pomposity of the prose, the sub clauses of the sub clauses, the inclusion of irrelevant information and the utter lack of an engaging narrative makes this volume compulsory reading for English literature students: how to bore your reader to death. As Monty Python would say what is the bloody point? I have rarely encountered such turgid prose, tortured sentences that run the length of a paragraph, and a deep-seated fear of actually engaging the reader. Yes, it’s that bad. Sample before you are tempted to purchase, and what you get will only get worse. Sadly, and after much deep thought, I reckon this is one the most unpleasant experiences inflicted on the human race over the last 250 years, with the possible exception of disco.

What’s the bloody point?
