A distinctive feature of the volume's coverage is the diversity of Latin textual environments and genres that the contributors examine in their work, including chronicles, liturgy and pseudo-histories, as well as apologetical treatises and works of hagiography and literature. Perhaps most importantly, the book examines the "many lives" that Charlemagne was believed to have lived by successive generations of medieval Latin writers, for whom he was not only a king and an emperor but also a saint, a crusader, and, indeed, a necrophiliac.Contributors: Matthew Gabriele, Jace Stuckey, Sebastia?n Salvado?, Miguel Dolan Go?mez, Jeffrey Doolittle, James Williams, Andrew J.
