Also I think it's super funny that skill shares your sponsor for this because if Charlemagne were alive today and had the internet he would seriously be all over your channel and skillshare without even thinking about it. Christopher Lee is a recognized descendant of Charlemagne and the reason he was able to use Charlemagne chill coat of arms on his Rock album was by permission of the Pope.

I know Charlemagne like very few other historical figures and besides some more pictures maybe I don't think anything major was left out or misleading or anything. Great job capturing his ideas and ways!

Thanks for this vid. I tend to struggle with Frankish history, so this was great for an overview. Kind of cool to see kings who did a bunch of reform. I put Charlemagne in the same sort of kingly category as Alexander and Frederick II. All styled The Great, all put in great governance systems. All left great stories (the Song of Roland's a pretty interesting dive into exploring differences in fiction of personality, psychology and outcomes), though Fritz left us with a lovely shade of blue and a whole collection of really lovely flute concertos.

Simon, I could listen to you read the ingredients off of a box of cereal you're so clever and suave. The fact that you're giving us excellent, well researched history, with a side of humor thrown in, just makes it just, well, fantastic. Keep it up, and more women in history if possible, please!!

There really aren't any significant woman in history. He should just give a shout out to the mothers of each historical figure he profiles. For example; Olympia was one of the most significant woman in history because she gave birth to and nourished Alexander of Macedon.

See, when you say 'Better known as Charlemagne,' isn't Charlemagne just the French for 'Charles the Great?'
@SonofSethoitae 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, but the point is that more people will know who you're talking about if you say "Charlemagne" rather than "Charles the Great". Less likely to be confused with Charles XII of Sweden, too.

Well he was first entitled in Latin Carolus Magnus but as it evolved to modern French in the Gauls (west Francia) he got known more as Charlemagne.
@camilohiche4475 3 жыл бұрын
Charlemagne is preferred to Charles the Great because it is closer to the original latin name from which it stems, Carolus Magnus.
