# Charlemagne The first fact about Charlemagne is a war of baptism, not a stained-glass Europe. Gutenberg Einhard at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10855 and Fordham’s Vita at https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/einhard.asp, with annal extracts at https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/source/annfrank.asp, narrate Saxon campaigns, forced conversion, and a Verden killing as a received annalistic claim. This catalog does not treat 4,500 as its own verified census. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Charlemagne and the Cambridge companion at https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-companion-to-the-age-of-charlemagne/ independently frame conquest-plus-conversion. Catholic Encyclopedia at https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03610c.htm is a later apostle-king reception, not a rebate. Capitulary English via Fordham prescribes death for pagan practice. Deportations are annalistic displacement. Avar treasure-war is in Einhard. Corvée and oath-lists are estate-and-loyalty files. The 800 coronation, as Vatican portal memory at https://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en.html and coins in the British Museum at https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection, sacralises a conquest king even while it names a public order. The offsets are dated. Missi as paired inspectors are an anti-count heading. Caroline minuscule in BL at https://www.bl.uk/medieval-english-french-manuscripts and BnF/Gallica at https://gallica.bnf.fr/ is a later literacy path. Alcuin at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Alcuin is a named school-maker. UNESCO Aachen at https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/3/ and the cathedral at https://www.aachenerdom.de/en/ are 1978 conservation. The Karlspreis at https://www.karlspreis.de/en/ is 1950 civic memory, split from identity-badge risk. Deniers at Monnaie de Paris https://www.monnaiedeparis.fr/en and the Met https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/caro/hd_caro.htm are industrial-monetary and art-access paths. SEP medieval political philosophy at https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/medieval-political-philosophy/ frames the office without a cartoon. What the score must not say: that Factrail counted Verden; that 1950 washed Saxony; that minuscule is a public school system; that 800 is a photograph. Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on 800/814 as later public dates, on UNESCO 1978 and the prize 1950, medium on annalistic numbers, low on camp epidemiology and relic-medicine. Related people are Alcuin, Leo III, Einhard, Hildegard, Louis the Pious, Widukind as Saxon opponent as later told. 782 as received is not a 2026 forensic total. 1978 is UNESCO. 1950 is a prize. The useful question is which later public pages still move rights, literacy, and sacral office under a Frankish name.
