In today’s episode, we will be discussing Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great. 

Holy Roman Emperor Charles the Great, King of the Franks, Defender of the Faith, and Slaughterer of the Saxons is one of the most badass figures of history. In nearly four decades of rampant badassness and unrelenting Christian justice, this man ruefully obliterated the Vikings, Moors, and  Huns, conquered most of Italy, parts of Eastern Europe. He saved the lives of two different Popes on two separate occasions, and he was one of the only men to ever unite Western Europe under one rule. 

Pour yourself a thick glass of whiskey and embark on this crazy journey of Charlemagne's life.
