Did Charlemagne really rule without defeat — or was his legend carefully constructed? In this video, we explore how medieval history was written, shaped, and weaponized through the Annales Regni Francorum, the official annals of the Carolingian Empire. These sources present Charlemagne as an unstoppable, divinely favored ruler — but is that the full story? By looking beyond the official narrative, we uncover forgotten defeats, suppressed rebellions, and rival dynasties preserved in lesser-known sources known as the Minor Annals. Texts like the Annales Petaviani and Annales Nazariani reveal voices pushed to the margins: conspirators, defeated nobles, and regional elites who resisted Carolingian power. This video breaks down how medieval monks recorded history, why royal annals functioned as propaganda, what the official sources deliberately left out and how memory and power shaped the legacy of Charlemagne.
