The Life of Charlemagne is considered one of the most important historical accounts of the early Middle Ages and provides valuable insights into the life and times of one of the most influential figures in European history.Then the Bavarian war broke out suddenly, and was swiftly ended. It was caused by the pride and folly of Tassilo, Duke of Bavaria; for upon the instigation of his wife, who thought that she might revenge through her husband the banishment of her father Desiderius, King of the Lombards, he made an alliance with the Huns, the eastern neighbours of the Bavarians, and not only refused obedience to King Charles but even dared to challenge him in war. The high courage of the King could not bear his overweening insolence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
