1

What aspects of Charlemagne does this text celebrate? How does this focus differ from that used in Plutarch's biography of Pericles? How does it differ from the descriptions we have read of Asian and Indian leaders? What do these contrasts tell us about the new society that was emerging in Europe during Charlemagne's era?
2

What role(s) did Charlemagne assume as a leader of his people? Again, how did these roles differ from the responsibilities assumed by Greek, Asian, and Indian leaders? Which society that we have studied thus far do you think had a leadership position most analogous to that assumed by Charlemagne?
