The Life of Charlemagne

Einhard was employed by Charlemagne as a court historian. At the request of Charlemagne’s son and successor Louis the Pious, he wrote a biography of Charlemagne, the Vita Karoli Magni or Life of Charlemagne (c. 817–830), which provides much direct information about Charlemagne’s life and character.

Hedwig is rijk en geniet van weelde, aanzien en luxe, maar leert voor haar leven ten einde is ook de zwartste kanten van het bestaan kennen met verslaving, prostitutie en armoede.

Hedwig is gefascineerd door de dood en de titel is afgeleid van een psalmtekst die in het boek geciteerd wordt: Maar doodgaan scheen haar altijd nog veel beter, nog begeerlijker. Dat zou rust zijn, als die beloofd wordt aan de getrouwen in de psalm, dat zou zachtjes gevoerd wor...
