Nope
Although primarily a man of action, he had great admiration for learning and spoke Latin fluently. He studied Greek and the liberal arts and thus combined, to some extent, the personality of a warrior and a scholar. Read more: http://www.notablebiographies.com/Ch-Co/Charlemagne.html#ixzz4Y6eI8Gp2 |

"It was indeed said that Charlemagne was illiterate. The Byzantine Emperor Justin I (though nowhere near as important or well known as Charlemagne) was a Thracian peasant and had to use a stencil to sign his imperial fiat to official documents. If memory serves, Charlemagne did the same. " QUOTED FROM HISTORY FORUM.
Charlemagne supported highly literate monks, and in later life, he made great attempts to read and write. |

"... on Charlemagne: he was not educated in letters as a boy, as this was not ever done at the time. He did, at a later age, desire to learn to read and write, and according to his biographers, he did learn to read and speak Latin pertty well. He did however never properly learn to write, because his big callused hands which were used to the sword could not learn to hold something as delicate as a pen. I think Charlemagne is a good example of one of the first Early Medieval kings who were not illiterate.
His predecessors however all were illiterate (Clovis, Peppin, Charles Martel, etc.) But this is perhaps not a good answer: this was an age in which illiteracy was the norm, and a king who could write was the exeption." QUOTRD. |
