520    In the year 800, Pope Leo III placed the crown of imperial
       Rome on a Germanic king named Karl. Thus, the man later 
       hailed as Charlemagne claimed his empire and forever 
       shaped the destiny of Europe. Transporting readers far 
       beyond Europe to the glittering palaces of Constantinople 
       and the streets of medieval Baghdad, this far-ranging book
       shows how the Frankish king and his wise counselors built 
       an empire not only through warfare but also by careful 
       diplomacy. With consummate political skill, Charlemagne 
       partnered with a scandal-ridden pope, fended off a 
       ruthless Byzantine empress, nurtured Jewish communities in
       his empire, and fostered ties with a famous Muslim caliph.
       For 1,200 years, the deeds of Charlemagne captured the 
       imagination of his descendants, inspiring kings and 
       crusaders, the conquests of Napoleon and Hitler, and the 
       optimistic architects of the European Union.--From
