Problem: Using the primary source selection from Einhard's Life of Charlemagne, characterize the relationship between Charlemagne and the Roman Church. To consider: should we read Einhard with skepticism or is Charlemagne directing his empire according to the Church's teachings and desires? How much pull does the Church have with Charlemagne? Then, using the textbook, discuss the relationship between the Church and the State in general from 500-1000 CE.
