See: https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010099888

He was the first emperor in the West since the fall of Rome, and yet Charlemagne’s empire was very different to any which had gone before.

The Frankish warlord spent a lifetime on the battlefield, slaughtered thousands, and yet yearned to create the City of God. He filled his palaces with scholars, commissioned beautiful art, and strove to unite a fractured and unwilling Europe. For all his limitations, his very existence acted as an inspiration for the ages to come.

NB This is a freelance course, and cannot be run as Robert’s in-venue courses have been in the past. If you have not registered beforehand and want to turn up and pay on the day, please be aware that the course will not run if there are not enough registrations to render it feasible. You are, of course, very welcome to decide to attend at the last minute, but do please be sure to contact us before making any plans or journeys, to check that it is indeed taking place as we hope that it will.

Should the course not attract sufficient interest to run, we’ll contact all who have registered, and full refunds will be issued. Thank you for your understanding as we seek to establish whether face-to-face Wright History courses in the York area are feasible!
