The Life of Charlemagne

Charles the Great, more commonly known as Charlemagne, although perhaps less well known to casual students of history than such figures as Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan, is nonetheless one of history's greatest rulers. This is true not solely because of his military feats, but because of the remarkably advanced approach he took took to such concepts as blind, universal justice - an approach that impacts society to this day. This AOG edition contains the complete, unabridged text of Thomas Hodgkin's iconic treatise on the life of this iconic founder of the Carolingian Empire, along with supplemental study and discussion materials after each section.
