Funny and adorable fact why Charlemagne was not only the great king and emperor, but also very likable person and nice father.

Well, Emperor of West had many daughters from all his wives. What would the first French king in "modern sence" (He at least wore crown, not spear) do to them? Marry to Byzantine emperor? King of Asturia? Anglo-Saxon prince? His own "Duke of Frankia? (Title equivalent to GOT Hand of the King) Send to monastery? No, Carolingian ruler refused to send them away - to marry, or to monastery (of course). Intead, he kept them close, at his court in Aix-la-Chapelle (Or, as in German and English and ALL THE LANGUAGES EXCEPT FRENCH - Aachen), surprised others that allowed them to have an education on equal level as men (they willingly used it, became very scholary, and even tauht old dad how to read and write, Reading was successful, but for writing he was too old, despite having huge desire), not to marry, but have open affairs and live as they want. their children from paramours Charlemagne declared Carolingians, and adored playing with them.
