Abstract

In the following pages, I have tried to give some idea of Charlemagne's personality and influence upon European history. No other person means so much in so many ways to the modern world as Charlemagne. Of the four great warriors and conquerors that European history celebrates, Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and Napoleon, it is the chief glory of Charlemagne that he was conspicuously the organizer, the civilizer, the father of governmental organizations and methods as we know them now.
