    "Book Review of Two Lives of Charlemagne" After having read both versions of the life of Charlemagne there is no doubt that they differ greatly in the sense of style‚ audience‚ and emotion. By reading these two descriptions of Charlemagne’s life we are able to decipher somewhat of the life he led as a shaper of early medieval European history. However‚ both of these versions possess the admiration of a noble man who they believe is worthy enough to be noted in history to some degree. The first

    Einhard’s opinion of Charlemagne was extremely high‚ as he “had all of the characteristics that [Einhard] felt to make a good king” (Shah). A more general consensus suggests that many of the public also favored Charlemagne’s period as Frankish King (r. 768-814)‚ as his name translates to ‘Charles the Great’‚ and his actions are commonly seen to have heavily benefited western Europe’s development. A biography of Charlemagne’s life‚ written after Charlemagne’s death‚ was created by Einhard who was given

    Source Review Einhard’s book “Life of Charlemagne” sung the praises of the Frankish king and all he had accomplished during his reign. Einhard himself was taken under Charlemagne’s wing (Charlemagne fostered him)‚ and Charlemagne even paid for his education. I think that in light of that it is easy to see why Einhard would write such a positive narrative about Charlemagne and the kingdom he created. In Einhard’s writing Charlemagne is depicted as hardworking‚ charismatic and always willing to learn

    Renaissance‚ Einhard’s Life of Charlemagne recounts not only the great deeds of the august emperor but also describes his person and life. Einhard‚ in his preface‚ makes known the sense of duty with which he seeks to preserve the laudable accomplishments and intimate character of his “lord and foster father.” Indebted by the “foster care” bestowed upon him and moved by the “constant friendship” which he received from the great king‚ he composes his biography of Charlemagne in a spirit of filial devotion
