The story begins at the end of Charlemagne's days, as he looks back on his life and the many military campaigns he fought... particularly troubling for him was the Massacre of Verden, where he ordered the public execution of 4000 Saxon Men. Tormented by memories of these and other cruelties he engineered in the name of God, he is afraid that he might be damned for his actions and remembered as a tyrant rather than as a Christian warrior king.
