The Rest Is History
524. Charlemagne: Pagan Killer (Part 2)
Dominic Sandbrook
And Alcuin is by Charlemagne's side pretty continuously throughout this period. And then in 796, he's quite elderly by this point. I think he's about 60. He retires to Tours, which of course is the great shrine of St. Martin. So it's the most significant of all the Frankish shrines. And there he becomes the abbot.
