Eginardo carlo magno biography Vestitu patrio, id est Francico, utebatur: ad corpus camisam lineam et feminalibus lineis induebatur, deinde tunicam, quae limbo serico ambiebatur, et tibialia; tum fasciolis crura et pedes calciamentis constringebat et ex pellibus lutrinis uel murinis thorace confecto umeros ac pectus hieme muniebat, sago ueneto amictus et gladio semper accinctus, cuius capulus ac balteus aut aureus aut argenteus erat. Yet the Roman tradition it revered in was one of Platonic conjectures in support of a consolidated mythology of ideological brutality. Although written in an obvious hagiographic key, Einhard's initiative to report even subjectively the most important and relevant happenings in the life of Charlemagne, just - seemingly - a couple of decades after his death, represents a milestone in historiography and also literature thanks to paving the way towards biographical accounts too little critical and analytical, at first, to be honest of the great personalities who gave a sense of History. Religionem Christianam, qua ab infantia fuerat inbutus, sanctissime et cum summa pietate coluit, ac propter hoc plurimae pulchritudinis basilicam Aquisgrani exstruxit auroque et argento et luminaribus atque ex aere solido cancellis et ianuis adornauit.
