Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Holy Roman Empire, then pay attention...

Two captivating manuscripts in one audiobook:

  • The Holy Roman Empire: A Captivating Guide to the Union of Smaller Kingdoms That Started During the Early Middle Ages and Dissolved During the Napoleonic Wars
  • The Carolingian Empire: A Captivating Guide to the Carolingian Dynasty and Their Large Empire That Covered Most of Western Europe During the Reign of Charlemagne

Throughout the story of the Holy Roman Empire, a wealth of fascinating tales from interesting people proliferates. Monks and emperors will clash, poets sing the praises of kings, and the pope rides blind and bareback on a frightened donkey through the streets of Rome. The mightiest monarch in all of the world walks barefoot in the snow in repentance for his angry deeds, and two rival families stand toe-to-toe for the monarchy. Crusades are lost in war and won in diplomacy, while kings are held ransom, revolts are suppressed, and antipopes crowned.

Some of the topics covered in part one of this audiobook include:

  • The First Roman Empire
  • The Carolingians
  • A Formal Emperor
  • The Dissolution
  • And much, much more!

Some of the topics covered in part two of this audiobook include:

  • A Quick Overview
  • The World After Rome
  • Ending a Dynasty - Pepin, Charles, and Carloman
  • The Conquests of Charles
  • In the Name of Religion
  • The Division Effectively Ending the Empire
  • Echoes of the Roman Empire - How Outside Forces Picked Apart the Carolingian Empire
  • Lasting Effects and Hope of Reunification
  • And much, much more!

So if you want to learn more about the history of the Holy Roman Empire and Carolingian Empire, get this audiobook now!

Exhaustive and Interesting

This is an exhaustive if the narrow, study of not even era ascent and drop of figures within the Roman Empire. Highly academic and consumed with minutia, this not swords and sandals, and Shakespearean speeches.

Solid but not too much comprehensive

"A Captivating Guide to the Holy Roman Empire and Carolingian Dynasty" is a well-regarded book. Still, I would not recommend it because its not that much comprehensive; you can try it.

Needs facts not details.

This audible provides an irresistible amount of facts about a long period in history. But it lacks on general description. The junk of facts do not give one a large depiction of what was happening.

The Holy Roman Empire the subject that I have bee

The Holy Roman Empire the subject that I have been long fascinated by, though I hadn't known much about. I was looking for a long history and how it came to be. There is something to learn but not as my liking.

A long and complicated history

The book is excellent, but very long (about 7 hours) and a bit complicated too. You have to love your subject to get through this book — still, valuable content to post four stars to it.
