Serving as ‘an invitation to the study of Carolingian civilization,’ this book examines the political and societal changes that took place in Western Europe in the 8th and 9th centuries. It is mostly a guide to many how this empire came about, the family that ruled it, and its quick end.

Does anyone else think that the monk who drew this Carolingian sketch had a crush on somebody at the abbey?

The final leaf of a medieval manuscript from Arras, France has a sketch of a slender young figure with pretty eyes, long hair parted down the middle and reddened cheeks. They have a halo and over their left shoulder is a figure that looks like a heart but without the notch in the top.

The Throne of Charlemagne is located in Aachen Cathedral in Germany. The Cathedral was built on the orders of the first Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne who was buried there in 814. In 1978, it was one of the first 12 places to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
#Charlemagne is regarded as the founding father of both France and Germany. Napoleon, on his coronation as Emperor in 1804, described his own crown as the "Crown of Charlemagne",

The throne appears in the foreground of the image and is quite plain and without decoration or ornamentation. Steps lead up to the seat, which is on a slightly worn podium. The seat itself consists of four marble plates held together with bronze clamps. In the background, is a grand arch with a back and white striped pattern.
