Excerpt from La Chanson des Saxons, Vol. 1
Charlemagne n'ont guère tenu compte de son histoire. Ils parlent à peine de ses guerres et de ses conquêtes d'outre Rhin. Je crois avoir vu le titre d'un roman où il s'agit, à ce qu'il paraît, d'une expédition de ce monarque contre les Saxons. Je ne puis parler de ce roman, ne l'ayant pas même parcouru. Je soupçonne toutefois qu'il est d'une date assez récente, bien postérieure à la fin du treizième siècle, etc. M. Fauriel, Origine de l'e'pogye'e romanesque au moyen âge, seconde lecon.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the activities and accomplishments of the 8th-century Carolingian Emperor Charlemagne, whose reign is considered by historians as important for the development of the Middle Ages and the continent of Europe. The author, Jean Bodel, used preexisting ballads about Charlemagne to produce a fictionalized but compelling narrative of the most momentous incidents in his rule, including a significant battle against the Saxons. Beginning with Charlemagne's conquest of Saxons, Bodel also uses this book to recount incidents depicting early medieval military strategy, the role of the Catholic Church, and the cultural impact of Charlemagne's court. Additionally, the work provides insights into the medieval concepts of chivalry and bravery on the battlefield, putting the reader into the mindset of Charlemagne and his contemporaries.
