A proposito di questo titolo

On Christmas Day in the year 800, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III in Old St. Peter's Basilica. But what really happened? Was it a surprise orchestrated by the Pope, or a carefully staged power play by Charlemagne himself? This episode unpacks the dramatic events leading up to that day—the attack on Pope Leo III, his flight to Charlemagne at Paderborn, the trial that followed, and the famous coronation. We explore the legal and symbolic significance of the imperial title, the reactions from Byzantium, and how Charlemagne navigated the delicate relationship between church and state. Drawing on Einhard's biography and the Frankish Royal Annals, we separate fact from legend and reveal why this moment still echoes in debates about European unity today. Join Lucas and Luna as they delve into one of the pivotal moments of the Middle Ages.
