About “Historia Caroli Magni”
The Historia Caroli Magni, also known as the Historia Karoli Magni et Rotholandi or the (Pseudo-)Turpin Chronicle, is a 12th-century Latin chronicle that contains legendary stories about Charlemagne's campaigns in Spain. It claims to have been written by Turpin, Charlemagne's contemporary and Archbishop of Reims, but it was later discovered to be a medieval forgery. The text was widely popular and influenced many chronicles, works of fiction, and artistic representations of Charlemagne across medieval Europe. Some of its stories, including the miracles of the flowering lances and the death of Ferracutus, are depicted on the windows of Chartres Cathedral. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
