<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4515431, member: 72790&quot;]I recall watching a series on TV and watching as a young German professor told the audience about how she came to devote herself to becoming a Medievalist. She related how she was watching something years before as a youngster on German TV. The program ended with Karl der Grosse (Carolus Magnus) being crowned by Pope Leo on X-mas Day, 800 and the announcer stating that &quot;and the Middle Ages began&quot;. A somewhat different perspective. For those interested in the linguistics of Charlemagne&#039;s empire, look up the &quot;Strasbourg Oath&quot; of 843 which was written in Latin, Frankish German, and a proto dialect of French.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
