Charlemagne's bones found

[Peter1469]

Charlemagne's bones found: (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2551055/Charlemagnes-bones-identified-1-200-year-old-remains-German-cathedral-belong-Europes-father-claim-scientists.html)

This is certainly a great historical find. Charlemagne is known as the father of Europe and both France and Germany claim him as their founder.


Charlemagne's first campaign came at the age of 27, when the Pope sought his aid in repelling the Lombards of Italy.


He conquered them in the field and took the crown of Lombardy as his own.


From his capital of Aachen in modern-day Germany, Charlemagne went on to fight 53 campaigns, most of which he led himself.


He defended a Christian Europe from Muslim Saracens and pagan Saxons, often beheading thousands in a single day.

Charlemagne was one of the greatest leaders in world history. Certainly a remarkable individual.

I didn't realize he was lost.

Cool.

I didn't realize he was lost.

Cool.

I should have rather said his bones were identified. They have had them for a long time, only now have they verified the person.

I read the history of charlemagne, incredible story and as I read it, I thought, how do the authors know all this is true. I still wonder about that.

I love scientific finds, like dinasaur bones and identifying charlegmagnes remains. Theres something real about it.
