This is some medieval /lit/ KINO of highest order.
Reddit niggas pretend that the book makes mistakes in it's depiction of history as if they are not intentional. The monk nigga that wrote it just wanted everyone to go on crusade. Fucking normans fight under Charlemagne kek.
He also supports the pope in investiture controversy or at least hated Holy Roman Emperors, that's why he focuses on that Charlemagne nigga.
The geography and muslim niggas in the book are also funny af. There are dark niggas and niggas who are hairy like monkeys.

This is paired well with The Two Lives of Charlemagne if you're already in the mood for medieval history/propaganda

Good book! Read the Laid of Marie de France if you want more of this but everything is an allegory.
