i understand that Einhard is trying to portray Charlemagne as someone who is perfect, and that of a roman emporer, i guess i just want to know what else there is that disputes some claims in the book.

is there another book that points out inaccuracies with evidence? or is there anything you all might know? i’m just very interested and want to understand from all perspectives.

edit: also there is a lot of names mentioned and i’m just curious if there is a good reference of like a chart or tree of who everyone is, because it does get a bit confusing but i guess that’s just me. i just need more visual assistance i guess if that makes sense.

thanks

i understand that Einhard is trying to depict charlemagne as someone who is perfect, and can do no wrong. i guess i’m also just trying to wrap my head around things that were inaccurate or that einhard over exaggerated, or even a book that shows evidence why some things might be misconstrued.
