On this day in A.D. 778 the battle of Roncesvalles took place in which Basques ambushed and totally wiped out the rear guard of Charlemagne's army.
Charlemagne's forces were returning to Aquitaine via the pass after attacking towns south of the Pyrenees and destroying Pamplona as part of an expedition against Muslim rule in Spain.

Here is the problem we have seen: monasteries have been sending us letters full of good intentions but full of bad writing.
The thoughts were right.
The sentences were a mess.
That worries us.
If the monks can’t write clearly, can they really understand the Scriptures clearly?
We think the two go together.
Sloppy writing often means sloppy thinking. And sloppy thinking about the Bible is far more dangerous than sloppy writing.

As there is a Charlemagne Prize for "uniting Europe", I wonder whether more than 1000 years from now, there will be a Putin Prize awarded for "uniting Europe"?
Seriously, all you need is good PR and your descendants will be like "Wasn't it great when Charlemagne invaded the Saxons? And had their holy place destroyed? This is the behaviour we want to see in Europe"

Incredibly fun read about the river #Elbe, king #Charlemagne, arms and milk. That is, the phenomenon of liquid metasynthesis in #slavic languages https://dannybate.com/2025/06/30/the-liquid-of-the-elbe/

Du nouveau sur #Charlemagne. Une synthèse sur la figure du grand empereur permet une lecture renouvelée de son règne. Pourtant, les Carolingiens n’ont pas tout inventé : une grande partie de ce qu’on leur attribue remonte en réalité beaucoup plus haut

Found a copy of the Song of Roland at my local used bookstore. Cheap and much shorter than Outlaws of the Marsh.
I like how this 1970 translation has to note that Carcassonne is a city in southern France, like it’s obscure and unknown. I guess the board game wasn’t popular yet. (Or existed.)

Venice might not have been
Venice was an independent state for almost a millennium, but it might note have been. It all hinged on a single battle fought in the Venetian lagoon in 810.
In the 700s, it had been a province of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna for a long time. However, long wars between the Exarchate and the Lombards had reduced the province to just a sliver of lagoon, called Venetia Marittima, between Grado in the north and Ravenna in the south.
In 751, the Lombards got the better of the Exarchate, when they took Ravenna and captured and probably killed the last Exarch. Then the Franks under Charlemagne appeared in northern Italy, and defeated the Lombards.
