Product Overview

Two revealingly different accounts of the life of the most important figure of the Roman Empire

Charlemage, known as the father of Europe, was one of the most powerful and dynamic of all medieval rulers. The biographies brought together here provide a rich and varied portrait of the king from two perspectives: that of Einhard, a close friend and adviser, and of Notker, a monastic scholar and musician writing fifty years after Charlemagne's death.

This copy of The Two Lives of Charlemagne is acceptable. The book itself is tightly bound and secure. There is a stain on the front cover, and the back cover is missing a bit of a corner. Some interior markings, underlining.
