He Was Buried Sitting Up 👑💀

He looked as if he were still alive, sitting on his throne. On January 28, 814, Charlemagne—the King of the Franks and the first Holy Roman Emperor—died of pleurisy at the age of 72. He was the "Father of Europe," a giant of a man (over 6 feet tall) who united the continent. But his story didn't end with his death. According to legend (and chronicles from the year 1000), when Emperor Otto III opened Charlemagne's tomb nearly two centuries later, he found something terrifying and majestic. Charlemagne wasn't lying in a coffin. He was sitting upright on a marble throne, dressed in his imperial robes, with his crown on his head and his famous sword, Joyeuse, by his side. He looked ready to stand up and rule again. This is the story of the greatest King of the Middle Ages and the eerie legend of his final resting place. #charlemagne #history #middleages #romanempire #medievalhistory #burials #legends #documentary #onthisday #didyouknow
