From his humble beginnings as a young prince to his coronation as Emperor of the Romans, Charlemagne's life was a tapestry woven with epic battles, political intrigue, and cultural brilliance.

Now, in King and Emperor: A New Life of Charlemagne, renowned historian Peter Sarris brings this extraordinary figure to life with unparalleled depth and detail.

Under his rule, the Carolingian Renaissance flourished, giving birth to a new era of learning and cultural achievement. Charlemagne's architectural wonders, such as the Palatine Chapel in Aachen, remain testaments to his grand vision and enduring legacy.

King and Emperor is not just a biography; it is a sweeping historical narrative that explores the complex political, religious, and cultural forces that shaped Charlemagne's reign.
