"Heavy metal album sung by Chrostopher Lee". Can we stop for a few seconds and appreciate how awesome of a human being Christopher Lee was?

"I'm not the successor of Louis XVI, I'm the successor of Charlemagne" Emperor Napoleon Ier

If you are a descendant of Charlemagne... Hello distant cousin.
-
This is a ruler I've been obsessed with. Ruthless on the battlefield, jovial in the palace, a fastidious learner, and who seemed like a sitcom dad (big-eater, loved drinking, enjoyed singing and laughing, but a very devoted father).
-
Fun Fact: In addition to singing songs about Charlemagne, Christopher Lee was a direct blood descendent

His father Charles "The Hammer" Martel sounds like a pro wrestler.

Finally a video on one of the greatest conquerors and kings of European history. Thank you for doing this Shell :)

Charlemagne and the champagne campaign.

Is it bothering anyone else that he’s saying “Shar-main” instead of “Shar-le-main” ?

Dear Simon, Charlemagne is great to see. I was hoping that you would consider the fathers of history, Herodotus, and Thucydides. Especially Thucydides though. His history of the Peloponnesian War is a masterpiece written not for the moment, but for the ages!

When on holiday in Germany some years ago,I visited Aachen Cathedral,I was amazed to find inside,a much bejewelled coffin,inside a glass case on a high cataphalque, it contained the body of The Holy Roman Emporor, Charlemagne! I’d studied him at school as a youngster,but thought his remains had been lost in antiquity, to say I was amazed, would be an understatement!

Biographics is a multipurpose channel for me. I love to learn about people, and this is perfect. I love to watch something while I eat, this is what I watch. But, when I feel really depressed, like I do right now...this is what I watch. Thank you so much for being so awesome for so many reasons.

Charlemagne’s daughters never “formally” married but we know that One of his daughters eloped with Einhard, who was in Charlemagne’s court. Also Bertha had at least three children, of the other daughters not much is known about them.

Simon I gotta say, you make some of the most informative and entertaining content on this platform, and you inject your personality in it perfectly. Love the show, keep up the great work!

The section about the wars with the Saxons sounded like a chapter form Tolkien.
-
I've been waiting for a Charlemagne video for the longest time! Thanks Simon!!!!!
-
Funny how that person is seen as the greatest citizen by both - the germans and the french.
