But honestly people, Charlemagne? He inherited a ****load, and conquered some bordering poor, war-torn areas. Only slightly less absurd an option than Hitler..."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Hunnic Empire
The short lifespan alone makes it much less "remarkable".
Charlemagne on the other hand, to quote a historian:
“ . . . enjoyed an exceptional destiny, and by the length of his reign, by his conquests, legislation and legendary stature, he also profoundly marked the history of western Europe

What you conquered is more important that how much you conquered. If you excel in both areas, well then you are a badass

9 - CharlemagneI don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.Comment
