523. Charlemagne: Return of the Kings (Part 1)
Tom Holland
But then, weirdly, in 747... He goes to Rome and he prays before the Pope and he says, I don't want to be a king anymore. I want to become a monk. And the king shaves off his hair, you know, the emblem of power among the Franks, gives him a tonsure, the tonsure of a monk. And Carloman retires to the monastery of Monte Cassino. He's gone mad. He's had a breakdown.
