Problem
If you have not left yourself enough time to read, read the preface and then read from Book 3, Chapter 24 to the end.
I. Who was Einhard? For whom did he write this?
II. If you had to describe Charlemagne in one word, what would it be and why?
III. How does Charles use clothing to present himself in differing ways? Why does he do this?
IV. How does Charles style himself as a Roman emperor? After which Roman Emperor does Charlemagne most consciously model himself and why?
V. On the other hand, in what ways is he a medieval king?
VI. How would Carolingian society describe ideal kingship?
