"So Einhard writes about Charlemagne. And he also appears to have been the first to record what really happened at Roncevaux, but his account is frustratingly brief. From his single reference to "Roland, Lord of the Briton Marches", we get the Song of Roland as we know it today. Einhard paid more attention to Charlemagne's clothes and stuff (apparently, he wore a blue cloak)."
"Charlemagne was the first European, and understanding who he was and what it meant to be Christian and European during his time is critical in understanding the formation of Europe, the Catholic Church and the modern world. There, isn't that enough reason to pick up this book? How about his questionable relations with his sister, daughters, wives and concubines?"
