General Interest Charlemagne Product Details: Category: Books ISBN: 0385516703 Title: Charlemagne The Fast Free Shipping Author: Derek Wilson Publisher: Doubleday Books Year Published: 2006 Number of Pages: 256 Book Binding: Hardback Prizes: N/A Book Condition: WELLREAD SKU: CIN0385516703A Item description An incisive and absorbing biography of the legendary emperor who bridged ancient and modern Europe and singlehandedly altered the course of Western history. Charlemagne was an extraordinary figure: an ingenious military strategist, a wise but ruthless leader, a cunning politician, and a devout believer who ensured the survival of Christianity in the West. He also believed himself above the rules of the church, siring bastards across Europe and coldly ordering the execution of 4,500 prisoners. Derek Wilson shows how this complicated, fascinating man married the military might of his army to the spiritual force of the Church in Rome, thereby forging Western Christendom. This is a remarkable portrait of Charlemagne and of the intricate political, religious, and cultural world he dominated.
