The year is A.D. 781. King Charles of the Franks is crossing the
Alps with his family and court on a journey to meet with Pope
Hadrian. One frosty night he speaks to his young son Carl: ""When
we come to Rome you will know that I am naming you my heir. One day
you will rule over all my lands...." But the King already had an
heir, Pepin the Hunchback, mockingly called Gobbo. Was he to be
dispossessed? Yet Carl sees that Charlemagne is determined to do
what he feels is best to serve God and Europe. This many-faceted
story will stir the minds and imaginations of young people. Through
Carl's eyes we discover the grand dimensions of western Europe's
foundation.
