The Grandfather of Europe - Charlemagne aka Charles the Great

Few names carry as much weight in the grand story of human history as that of Charles the Great of the Carolingian Dynasty. From the tribelands of the Pagan Rhine to the halls of St. Peter’s Basilica, the deeds of Charlemagne have echoed through the ages to produce the world that we know today, for better and for worse. Join Tim and Derek for this severely delyed  holiday episode to discuss the life and deeds of this unique man and his unique times.

Rules:
1. Every time someone is forced into a monastery - sip
2. Every time the church is involved - three sips
3. Every time our main character is a ruthless bastard - shot
