WHO WAS KING CHALEMANGE
The greatest of medieval kings was born in 742, at a place unknown. He was of German blood and speech, and shared some characteristics of his people strength of body, courage of spirit, pride of race, and a crude simplicity many centuries apart from the urbane polish of the modern French. He had little book learning read only a few books but good ones, tried in his old age to learn writing, but never quite succeeded, yet he could speak old Teutonic and literary Latin, and understood Greek.
In 771 Carloman II died, and Charles at twenty nine became sole king. Two years later he received from Pope Hadrian II an urgent appeal for aid against the Lombard Desiderius, who was invading the papal states. Charlemagne besieged and took Pavia, assumed the crown of Lombardy, confirmed the Donation of Pepin, and accepted the role of protector of the Church in all her temporal powers.
