The Fall of the Roman Empire Episode 120 "Charlemagne's Empire"

from The Fall Of The Roman Empire · host Nick Holmes

In this and the next episode, I want to look beyond the legend of Charlemagne to find the real man and his achievements and failings. His legend has made him into a symbol of power and authority as well as a figurehead for the cause of European integration. But it shouldn’t be forgotten that after his death, his empire quickly broke up and his accomplishments were shown to be hollow. So, what is the truth about him? Let’s find out.Support the showFor a free ebook, maps and blogs check out my website nickholmesauthor.com
