Respectfully, I now understand why they call him Notker the Stammerer... I did not need those 30 pages about random bishops. Einhardt is chill I suppose :3

Two Lives of Charlemagne (Classics) by Abbot of Seligenstadt Einhard (1969)
erboe501's review against another edition
2.0
I only read the Einhard version of Charlemagne's life, but I found his narration interesting for its reflection on medieval society. Because Einhard was indebted to Charlemagne for his prestige, and still living off of his successor's kindness at the time of writing, it is no surprise that this is a biased piece. What we do learn about the great king (namely, that he was a womanizer and a patron of the liberal arts) makes him an intriguing, albeit mysterious, character.
