It's a good time to be alive just for the amazing access to historical documentary's on KZfaq.✌️🇺🇸

"Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky". -Charlemagne

I was looking for Charlemagne on your channel just yesterday! Thank you! I love the unbiased history on your channel, it's so refreshing.

In university in 94 this was one of the books i had to read. Absolutely loved it. Read it a bunch of times.

In Germany, he is called Karl der Große ( Karl the Great)

Finally, a decent well done documentary on Charlemagne! Thank you.

53:28 For those confused, they probably meant "Ottonian" rather than "Ottoman". They are not directly related to Charlemagne though, they simply took the crown of the East Francia after the carolingians.

Christopher Lee in his 90s released a heavy metal album called Charlemagne.

My 13 year old daughter just had a debate wherein she had to debate the question: Charlemagne- hero or villain. She argued for hero and won so I saw this pop up and thought I'd refresh my own memory of the subject. Thank you for this documentary.

How you guys don't have several millions subscribers is baffling. There are few notifications that get me as excited as when PP releases a video.

Charlemagne was a great person who had great people supporting him, otherwise he wouldn't have succeded in his endeavours. A great inspiration for today's leaders. Very good documentary. Thank you.

Thank you for another informative and interesting historical documentary. Marvellous narrator with well produced visuals too.

In my younger days I had the great fortune to have studied in Aachen. I still consider it my second home. I was only in my teens then so didn’t fully grasp the historical significance of that beautiful city so it was lovely to learn about it from this video. The Aachener Dom is one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen.

if the vid begins with "The man known to history as..." you know it's gonna be a banger

Charlemagne was the greatest of all medieval kings in Europe, about a thousand of them. He was a head taller than his contemporaries, had a high pitched voice and a small paunch according to his biographer Eginhart. The place of his crowning in 800 is said to be a metre-wide reddish circular antique , Egyptian, stone in the entrance of today s St Peters Basilica.

Great documentary but you made a slight mistake towards the end. König is the German word for King, Kaiser is the word for Emperor. Korol is the Russian word for King, Czar for Emperor. Both Kaiser and Czar are derived from Caesar, but the Caesars were Emperors, as opposed to Kings. 54:30

Yes! The Father of Europe and First Holy Roman Emperor! Thanks for this!

Thank you!! I've been waiting for this one! Very much appreciated.

Read French: "Charl le Magne" means "Charles the Great". To the Germans, he is known as "Karl der Große." He is considered the founding father of both nations.

Great video I always enjoy watching your videos. I love history and you make it fun to learn about history. Thank you for all the hard work you do on these videos.

Did you notice that all the pinces named Carloman on the Carolingian dinasty never got the oportunity to reign? They always died young or were defeated by their sibilings.

Thank you so much for this. I enjoyed it and learned from it.

I love learning about great men from history and Charlemagne was a great king

Thanks for the upload!

An amazing documentary. Well done.

I love how the thumbnail is just Sir Christopher Lee but with a longer bead. Fits well since Sir Lee is related to Charlemagne.

Great Documentary! Good to have something intelligent to watch!

Another great video from the people’s profile.

This is a real person, so important to the world's progress. At that time. I wouldn't cancel him. Lol Enjoyed the episode very much.

Just about anyone with a European extraction claims an ancestral link to Charlemagne. For example, my mother was a member of the Dames of the Magda Carta. She had traced her ancestry directly to him.

Amazing info. Family History!

Most informative documentary episode about charllaman King 🤴 of Frankish kingdom..excellent historical coverage channel of historical persons thanks for sharing

Amazing video!

Ohhh bro finally. I’ve been waiting for this

I did French school and we covered Charlemagne. However I’ve learned a lot more from your documentary than I ever did at school.

Great stuff 👏

If I had to have a king and I could pick one, Charlamagne would be my pick.

Proving hard to keep up with the profiles, thanks for the great work. Ireland's Michael Collins worth considering, truly remarkable story of one man against the greatest military force the world has ever seen.

So interesting, truly.👍🏽🙂

I love how you have him looking a bit like his most famous contemporary descendant the late legendary Sir Christopher Lee

U guys r brilliant!!!

Lol Christopher Lee really looks like his ancestor here!

That’s a huge transition for Charlemagne to go from the Father of The Holy Roman Empire to the podcast with Andrew Schultz 📈🙌

Is that Christopher Lee in the thumb nail? (yes, I know ;) )

I enjoyed this.

Thank you 😊 💓 ...we will see this again, I imagine ...as moral decay increases 😢

We need a Netflix dramatized series about this wise king!

I love the channel

One of the most powerful emperors in medieval age, as i visited france in 2015. A son of France ♥🔥 and one of my fav and respected characters. He created a empire and made him as a holy roman emperor the first of many rulers who ruled that. His empire survives many challenges until 1806. One of the powerful rulers. Vive la france. My fav country. Known as a father of 🌍🌎 because of he created a vast empire and united most of Europe since the roman empire. Brilliant and thnk you for this video. He is one of the best rulers ever to rule Europe,most of Italy and also the many Gallic and germanic tribes. Again thnk you for these content.He also helped the Carolingian renaissance and the revival of western church with that. Also he is a main ancestor of dynasties who ruled and rules Europe 🌍. But also his some actions led the schism between westen and eastern empires as well as the western and orthodox churches . Because he didn't think irene of athens as a legitimate ruler and he himself declared as a roman emperor and 👑 himself. best wishes aijaz from pakistan

Great thanks

Its very interesting that this great man was born in such backwater place. Also, he was born into the period which was just few generations far from the fall of Roman Empire. I would like to see how these people lived there because I can imagine that the south was pretty much still advanced and the tribes who were originally attacking Roman Empire were still finding the way how things are working.

Crazy! to think we lived on the same planet as these people! Time is a strange and peculiar.. cruel tool!

I know what I'm falling asleep to tonight

"Who's name means the warhammer" Several of us smile at each other there, maybe making a sign of the comet. 😉

Cant believe I was never taught anything about this at school

This is going be a good one.

He was the first of a long list of German/ Western rulers who drooled over the Roman Empire!

Your videos are very useful and interesting, plz can you provide us a documentary about Hannibal Barca abd Hamilcar Barca the Carthaginian leaders ?? With best salutations

Interesting documentary

"Charles the Warhammer". Hell of a name.

Please could we have more literary figures? These are wonderful.

There's a song by the blossoms about Charlemagne...

I came across an article saying the last name vigil ( which is my surname from my father ) might link me to this guy so now I gotta watch this. 🎉

Thanks.

Do video on Christopher Columbus and Herman Cortez.

Would have been easier to just say "we hate Christianity and Charles, everyone else around him did cool things. He did not cool things. The end." - People Profiles

Fascinating history, very well done. Interesting about Hitler too, blaming Charlemagne for the demise of the Teutonic gods !

I like how the thumbnail portrait is essentially Christopher Lee.

It's crazy how many of us look like him in our old age.

I love how the depiction looks very much like Christopher Lee.

The actor Christopher Lee was a direct decendant of charlemaigne.

Your voice is so relaxing 😊I could listen to it all day🤍

Is there a reason why Charlemagne in the thumbnail looks like one of his descendants, Christopher Lee? Fun fact, he sang in a metal band named Charlemagne toward the end of his life.

Much more interesting than the quarter of a page chapter of him in 10th grade history

I think his epithet should be, "Charles the OK", or "Charles the Pretty Good"

Ancient family history! He is one of my ancestors!

Gee wiz I love this narrator's voice. I feel like Fran from Black Books 😂

Hold up. Now the title duke had been around since Roman times, although the used the title in different contexts, but, iirc, it was Charlemage who set up the system of counts. Later, the title became hereditary but in Carolingian, it was an appointed position.

The "Father of Europe" is exactly that. In 40 generations we've well over a trillion ancestors & forty generations of each of my parents are Charlemagne's grandchildren. Not once or twice, but several hundred times, just like every other person with modern European ancestry.

So….the guys OP AF

This guy was so important they even named a bubble gum after him! The Big Charlie!

I was hoping you would do one on this bloke. Top Job.

I forget the statistic,but a lot of French/German people are related to his bloodline. I did one of those DNA tests and it said I was which was fascinating. It was also fascinating there was no hard distinction between French and German DNA considering the exchange of borders and the United Francia kingdom.

The title Magnus (the Great) isn't necessarily meant as "good"; it has much more to do with accomplishment & even respectful fear. Therefore, Charlemagne was definitely worthy of his lofty title 🤔

Good to see the Father of Europe is finally here!

Me: Why does that dude look like Christopher Lee? *scoures the depths of the internet* Me: Hoooleeee shiiiiit!

It's just the ceremonial title as Emperor of the (Western) Roman Empire wich already exited previously.. germanic kings were just very eager to return the title to themselves. He was a great leader and defender, but never some kind of "Father" of Europe.

They even named a bubblegum after this guy - the Big Charlie!

I just read a good book about his grandfather the one they called the Hammer.

He was great for Europeans and christians without any doubt .He unified most of western Europe

Apparently Charlemagne invented Aachen’s Razor. That’s the simplest explanation anyway

Get along, Kid Charlemagne.

My 40th great grandfather, and, LOL, all of y'alls too.

I traced my ancestry on my father's side to King Charlemagne. This is fascinating!

Charlemagne was absolutely based

But how did he end up on the breakfast club?

One of my ancestors on my mother’s side of the family
