Charles the Great: Supreme Conqueror of the Western World. Son of an eight-century barbarian Frankish king, Charles led his first military expedition when he was eleven. He rose from his father's rude forest halls to become Holy Roman Emperor, absolute monarch of the Christian world. Charles conquered all Europe, from great Rome herself to the cold northern seas and the dark eastern forests, from the Pyrenees to Constantinople, and drove the Moslem hordes back into Asia. While Charles maintained the most dissolute court in Europe, at the same time this extraordinary man established schools and monasteries and laid down laws which persist today. Only Harold Lamb, world-famous biographer of history's greats conquerors, could illuminate the mists of legend to tell the fascinating life of this amazing king. |
