An absorbing biography of the great leader who was the bridge
between ancient and modern Europe -- the first major study in more
than twenty-five years.
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.
