He was considered as being the grandfather of Europe He was a great military leader and strategist! Hello from another history fan and ex-national history olympic in the 7th grade And I think (?) he was the first person to assume the title of Holy Roman Emperor ? I think it's fascinating to trace the evolution of tribal dynasties. The Franks.. their territory evolving into The Kingdom of the Franks.. France. His seat was at Aachen cathedral.. maybe our very own Gitarrero has been there ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachen_Cathed...atine_chapel.29 |

And I think (?) he was the first person to assume the title of Holy Roman Emperor ? He was crowned xmas day, 800 AD at St. Peters by Pope Leo III but, the Byzantine empire (Constantinople) - at least half of Christendom at that time - took exception and never recognized Charles as the emperor (they stopped recognizing the pope in Rome too). Eventually Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks at the end of May in 1453 and the holy Roman empire lived on. Still lives on to this day in a way. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Play Bass!
Music is what I do on the side, everything else involves commuting to work and dreaming about taking a vacation so i can write music! In my spare time I have enjoyed being a stunt man in three James Bond movies, artist for Warner brothers, helping the creation of films like Toy story, Hang gliding, parachuting,wing jumping,surfing with white sharks,stud,tennis coach, life guard,stand up comic,escort for beautiful actresses,Olympic skier, concert organiser, rock star,nice guy and general bullshitter. so basically, you're not married and keep yourself pretty dang busy! I wish I could find time to destroy a few cars! I agree, anyone who isn't into history at all is seriously missing out ! ... er, MISSED out. Let's keep a proper perspective on things mate Personally, I enjoy having a flush toilet and ... toilet paper! haha! -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

Thank you man! I will definitely give it a go I have been more into Japanese history in the last two years as it went along with my martial arts training. It clearly offers a better view into things, so I thought it would only be natural to understand things this way. You seem like a pretty Zen like individual. You'll probably appreciate this. I visited the opening of the Himalayan Buddhist Mandalas exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in SF today. It was very fascinating; dare I say even spiritual. There was some sort of energy emanating from these Mandalas that were well over 500 years old. I took some photos, but they really don't do them any justice. Here is a link for the museum exhibit. http://www.asianart.org/exhibitions_index/enter-the-mandala |
