Charlemagne ( /ˈʃɑrlɨmeɪn/ or /ˈʃɑrləmeɪn/; French pronunciation: [ʃaʁ.lə.maɲ]; c. 742 – 28 January 814), also known as Charles the Great (Latin: Carolus Magnus or Karolus Magnus), was King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans (Imperator Romanorum) from 800 to his death in 814. He expanded the Frankish kingdom into an empire that incorporated much of Western and Central Europe. During his reign, he conquered Italy and was crowned Imperator Augustus by Pope Leo III on 25 December 800 in Rome.
His rule is also associated with the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, religion, and culture through the medium of the Catholic Church. Through his foreign conquests and internal reforms, Charlemagne helped define both Western Europe and the European Middle Ages. He is numbered as Charles I in the regnal lists of Germany, the Holy Roman Empire, and France.
The son of King Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, a Frankish queen, he succeeded his father in 768 and was initially co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. It has often been suggested that the relationship between Charlemagne and Carloman was not good, but it has also been argued that tensions were exaggerated by Carolingian chroniclers.

Plot
The amazing times of King Charles the Great (Charlemagne) served as the base for a great number of popular legends on continental Europe. He lived in the 8th century CE and despite being a warrior who through a significant numbers of battles succeeded to unify for the first time in history a divided continent, he was also a man of culture and a great believer in the need to help the needy. People loved him and told innumerable stories not only about him, but also about his valiant knights and the beautiful ladies with whom they weaved love stories. Without any doubt, the most exciting of such stories remains the French "La Chanson de Roland" (The Song of Roland) and its Italian versions "Orlando Innamorato" and "Orlando Furioso". In a magnificent, dramatic way they follow the noble and fearless hero Orlando, Charlemagne's right hand, through his adventures filled with passion, devotion and search for the truth. Along him, joining him or opposing him ferociously, are other unforgettable characters such as the knight Rinaldo, the stunning Angelica, the opposing leaders Rodomonte and Gradasso, the unique female knight Bradamante, the wizard Atlantes and many others. "Love and Virtue" bases itself broadly on these legends, but takes the topic much further by developing a fascinating view on difficult life choices, the meaning of friendship and the anguish of true love. The superb historical background and the captivating personalities of the various heroes are employed to create an atmosphere of magic, extraordinary music, soul-moving drama and beauty that will certainly leave a powerful imprint on the viewer.

She got a red dress
Kicking up pretty heels
She's playing the money games
Givin' us men a thrill
Spending nights in Sin City
Wearing all the upper class women down
She cannot or she could not
Change her name to Jezebel
Well, never once did she try
No, no, no, she couldn't
Change her name to Jezebel

But no, no, no, I couldn't

Sailing up pass stupid Earth
Venus in my skies
Well, then I'm heading back for the water
It's coming as no surprise and am I doing alright
They even won't check my fingerprints
But I was not and I never could be
Never couldn't be no astronaut
But never once did I try
No, no, no, no
I'll never be no astronaut
And I did not or I could not
Change my name to Charlemagne
Blind barking Bobby he can rage The red mist come down and take centre stage And if he could see he'd knock you down And he may yet if you stick around
The sunlight only happens when he dreams The cold light of day is how it's gonna stay Some thing's only happen 'cause it rains It takes another kind for taking up the strain and Be Charlemagne
The manager is waiting to be paid
Along with priests and deacons of his court
A quartermaster, quite a man, a mistress of the line
Has found a last cent avenue of pain
A Mardi Gras just passed this way a while ago
Making hungry people of us all
Along the Mississippi you can hear the fiddlers play
Fandangos and boleros to the lord
Many times, many tried,
Simple stories are the best
Keep in mind, the wishful kind,
Don't wanna be like all the rest.
My uncle was a vicar in the big parade
Selling fountain pens that never write
San Sebastian gamblers never cheat nor lie
They know good fences make good neighbours
I wish I knew what time of year it was What kind of people will be there When gruesome tales of two cities ran Running all the way Father might have heard his prayers were answered Inhibitions all the way from home Consider now, consider then before the deed is done The blood of consolation runs so true Many times, many tried, Simple stories are the best Keep in mind, the wishful kind, Don't wanna be like all the rest.
