524. Charlemagne: Pagan Killer (Part 2)
Dominic Sandbrook
So when he advances into the lands of the Saxons, he's not aiming just to conquer them. He wants to save their souls. He wants to bring them to Christ. And this great shrine that I described Charlemagne as destroying in 772, it's not just that it's rich. It's obviously the fact that it is a pagan shrine. It's flamboyant. fearsome. It's phallic.
