Charlemagne---giant of history, hero of legend---His power kept both the West and the East in awe. For centuries after his death, the figure of Charlemagne dominated Europe. In legend, he was "the Emperor with the Flowery Beard," gigantic, two hundred years ago. Here, written by a member of his court, is Charlemagne's life in vivid and personal detail.
