The inscription marked it out as a state of the arts blade there were no better swords to be found any. Around four hundred of these blades have been found usually in the graves of significant men a warrior was given his weapons to take with him to the afterlife even though they would have cost a fortune his apps spear shield and sword the weapons of the frankish warriors. By the age of fifteen charles has completed his warrior training in a solemn ceremony he repeats the oath he swore once before as a young. Boy.

They cant yet still you men of the saxon people now agree that you wish to submit to the mighty Christian King of the franks for all eternity through all its side. A loyalty gained by force. What choice did the defeated have submission or death either they betray their culture or they lose their life. Without let there be peace between you and us. Jones believes the saxons were defeated was he was taken. Down that the saxons were not a united front there was a whole number of sub tribes the westphalian was the angry ins and the east valiums are the best known so that they were not under Central Command from the military perspective either these wars are waged by these different tribes meaning that one victory by charlemagne definitely doesnt mean that all the saxon tribes have been defeated. One year after the war against the saxons Charles Cross the outs with his army in order to conquer the lumber kingdom he hoped to annex the ancient roman province of italia into his frankish empire even though the long bods were christians. He besieged a capital for many months he stuffed the population into surrender in pursuit of his vision to become the equal of the Roman Emperor in the east in constant. No he wanted to resurrect the western roman empire. He wanted to combine the unparalleled luster of ancient rome with his own frankish rant one empire one faith one role.

In the treasury of the cathedral in months are still holds the old lumbered crown for more than a thousand years into the Nineteenth Century it was worn by the many successes of chalk. It is called the i am crowned but it is made of pure gold and is adorned with twenty two precious gems its reinforced on the inside by an iron ring hence the name. There was another side to the young and often cruel warrior king who struggled to read and write one that longed for knowledge and education for the beauty of the us. Colored clothes of the year charmayne like every frankish noble was trained as a warrior does not need to creation the way we understand it akal hard to but because he wanted to rule this empire because he was fascinated by the mediterranean world and ancient culture he very. Rapidly developed the idea of gathering experts at his court that he tasked with educational reform health. Reform we were told. These experts were monks and clerics they came from ireland england spain and italy they were great scholars the best minds of their time charlemagne wanted to listen to them and learn from them. The holy scripture the bible was to be the Sacred Foundation of his kingdom even in every day matters. Then sheepishly is it not written in the holy scripture that even god rested on the seventh day and god blessed the seventh day because he rested from all his works on that day and he got shot you say sunday should be a day free from work hard so far as im on is here because it would be gods will i like all christians should dedicate this day to the lord and to their family. Serby it. More and oppression scholarly ness and beauty these were no contradictions in chalices mind the tradition he and his Court Scholars introduce is not just a fundamental educational reform it amounts to the rebirth of a classical latin world. Since the decline of rome in the chaos of the Great Migrations this ancient culture had with it the latin spoken by the months and priests was corrupted their writings were barely legible charlemagne sense that his unified empire needed one language and one script. C. D. C. The has to be a clear order when writing clear rules everyone has to write the same so everyone can read it. As was and i will everyone must learn that including you. Writing and copying a strict croft performed largely by monks in monasteries all of the knowledge of the west was to be preserved in this way. Shifting the horten of them gives the lettering we used today goes back to this educational reform to the carolingian minuscule with word divisions and clearly legible letters which meant that the most important ancient and religious texts could be disseminated and read in the whole frankish empire and youre right about i at least count. Charlemagne promoted the establishment of monasteries latin schools and libraries all across his empire and to this day there are many precious collections of manuscripts from the time. Charlemagne all over europe such as in the benedictine melkor monastery overlooking the danube in austria they are outstanding witnesses to the scholarly knows of a time now known as the carolingian renee since. It was a development in almost all areas of knowledge and life one that is also reflected in the carolingian buildings in the gatehouse of the last monastery just north of hyderabad. The other face of his reign war and people oppression and violence were still raging in saxony. Charlemagne had pounced a law that threatened anyone who refused to be baptized with death. If you truly wish to convert to the christian god then throw your idols on to this cleansing fire as a sign of your new faith in the name of the father the son and the holy ghost then. The saxons were to renounce their old facts they were to stop being the people they were. Mentioning he did not see all the people who are used over generations to existing in the polytheistic world and to view it as the natural order of things will always struggle to renounce the familiar even under military pressure under threat of force. Pull close leashed in for totton ups of the saxons had to do that in the first phase of frankish expansion and they did it because they had no alternatives but that didnt make them faithful christians about it since that is kind of globing because of. The two cant did not want to be baptized despite the death threat. He wanted the saxons to be the rulers over their own territory again to pray to their own guns not to this foreign god who came by fire and sword. The saxons fought back attacking frank aisha villages. No mercy for their enemies no for the saxons whod already converted. The documents rebellion claimed innocent victims a spiral of violence. I had hoped i would never have to hear anything like it these damned heathens these damn saxons wild animals a faithless pack resort to subjugate them with a sword but we failed to win their hearts they broke their oath they betrayed me they came. But our gold is also a god of love one empire one faith we have to assert that this. It is nowhere written that gods word must be spread by the sort of oh my jesus christ silence. Is real forgotten i swear before god and in your presence that i will wage war on the faithless traitorous saxons i will not rest until they are either defeated and have converted to christianity or until they are completely annihilated from theres a if thats what they want. Its a fight that knows no rules and has no mercy a dirty war between an equal powers with attacks retaliation tara and counterterror. I. Didnt escapes capture. The list where are you. Where. Charles decides to set an example in the town of fed and on the river its an orgy of revenge. Never again would it saxon dead to go against him the king of the franks. On charless orders thousands of captives saxons are executed frankish chroniclers would later claim that more than four and a half thousand men died by the silt on this day. The water in the run red with the victims blood. It was an act that cost a shadow over the reputation of the great frankish king for centuries. There are four thousand five hundred stones in fadden to commemorate the event they were put there in one thousand nine hundred thirty five in the spirit of the times. Brute bought from the album like a bloodbath of faired and drew criticism even among contemporaries patani tired to call it also for it was very brutal if you put yourself in charlemagnes shoes you see he was desperate because of the ongoing saxon resistance op this is long and maybe this was his last resort to force victory lest the smiting to be used and used in a forked out swing. Not even women and children was spared the incredible rage of the frankish king. And. His own Court Scribes report shows had all the saxons living on the other side of the ever including women and children brought to the land of the franks. Did not get going and nobody stays behind her and move. It was a full screen location to allow charlemagne to secure his room. Tens of thousands of saxons were robbed of their homes and deported to the frankish heartland and. Charlemagne distributed the land stolen from the saxons to his frankish followers. Despite all the brutality the saxon resistance cannot be broken both sides are prisoners of their pride their goals and their oaths. Freedom or death. God is with us. The saxons didnt have the strength to drive the frankish power from their land but there was a bitter insight for video kings enemies to military force alone would not produce lasting peace. Charlemagnes learned advisors tried to convince their king of this so weve been waging war against the saxons for thirteen years now i know theyre waging war against us and weve not been able to break their resistance despite our best efforts im telling you we wont find peace with the saxons if we dont negotiate its actually been finished one hundred five negotiate tell me how you negotiate with troublemakers who break their word who wont be bound by any oath all rule you can kind of is it soft and he will offer video candy and honorable capitulation and that allows him to save face that way he can avoid a war down to the last man but in exchange hell have to end the rebellion for good im on the mot. He has to be the tiniest. For the sake of peace to. The in the Pax Christiana israel it would be agreeable to gold. Color also have to charlemagne invested a huge amount in the saxon wars and that shows us how much they meant to him how important his mission was one of a mission he first understood with the oath he made to pope stephen its and its. Thirteen years old to the destruction of him in seward the saxon rebel leader rides to the frankish heartland to see charlemagne. The frankish chronicles would later claim that the saxon had become a devout christian thanks to a divine miracle but in truth he took and just wanted peace. You cant have you come out of your own free will yes my lord has me for peace. When charlemagne embraced his former enemy on Christmas Day seven hundred eighty five he fulfilled the promise he gave to the pope as a young boy to spread christianity. Betokens baptism was a significant event in the history of the german people the saxon territory became part of an empire from which germany and france would later image. The always to mean got out i must be gone. Yes cannot. Allow this to interest got a tsunami and told. You. He loved. The stool in the log on going east is kilo. So tells reached by baptize you as a video kinda of the saxons. And ominous fox and the name of the father. The son. And the holy ghost. In the name of the father the son and the holy ghost. Tovey the reader can see baptism in seven eighty five was an incredible success for charmayne because this chronicle is wrote that all of saxony was now subjugated but in reality it took almost twenty more years until that was the case basis ovide our pasta nevertheless there was certain trees there was now a christian empire full of christians under a Christian King out of kristen college to tend to. The oldest plants of the church in anger a village near how thought date back to around eight hundred the duke and was born here and this is where legend says he is buried the chroniclers have reinterpreted the rebel was a pious christian.

The new royal palace was a large and perfectly planned complex it contained the. As the seat of government along with a residence for the royal family a garrison for elite troops a courtroom and a study center with an archive and a library.

It was the first time a pope had crowned an emperor and the first time this emperor had come from an empire that was not roman. Only a successor of some peter could award the title of emperor in the name of god thats why charlemagne had recognized the supremes pontiff as his spiritual head.
