James Cameron Stewart
When the legendary Frankish king and emperor Charlemagne died in 814 he left behind a dominion and a legacy unlike anything seen in Western Europe since the fall of Rome. Johannes Fried paints a compelling portrait of a devout ruler, a violent time, and a unified kingdom that deepens our understanding of the man often called the father of Europe.

Among other biographies I've listened to it was harder to continue listening. Maybe Europeans will be able to relate more.

It is impossible not to view at least the fable of Charlemagne as not being a man who came to the renaissance before the world was ready. I highly recommend spending the time required to get to know my relative Charlemagne!
As I like to read or should I say listen via Audible the cadence of the reader provides an odd cadence that becomes a touch annoying at times. I do listen at 2.5 speed and at normal speed you may not find this to be the case. Good listening.

What did you like best about Charlemagne? What did you like least?
The references to ancient sources, mostly in latin. Really appreciate the author's research.Did James Cameron Stewart do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
The narration was probably my biggest issue with the book, though I'm not sure you could read this book in an upbeat and exciting way.Was Charlemagne worth the listening time?
Gave up listening after the 2nd part.Any additional comments?
If you knew latin, you would probably appreciate this book a lot more. Definitely well researched and the sources were old and amazing. But difficult for me to get excited about the story and the narration was a bit dry, which didn't help.Great research and lots of latin...
