Charlemagne- Bravely off to War......

The brave King Charlemagne, facing adversity
wherever he found it and  worked hard on cleaning up all his enemies and foes........    

I have been forced to piece together the story of Charlemagne from the small snippets of information I have been able to obtain.  If you look on Wikipedia, you will likely find it is all true, as per the telling! (or as true as Wikipedia can be..???)

So, Charlemagne was this King born in 742 and he was pretty much a leader of the Franks and then Italy and then was crowned King in 800, he has this whopping great statue outside Notre Damn 

which tends to dominate that side of the courtyard. 

He did, however, seem to have a bit of a problem with mess, so it appears he would head off to war with his trusty stead (horse) and a few other serfs, slaves and general riff raff who carried the essentials of travel and battle, such as spare armour, weapons, rations for the troops and his very special blue, plastic broom.

 

It would seem he also traveled with his gay-est traveling knights who could be found posing at all times, looking as saucy as possible and why do you supposed he picked this particular group of young men?  

No, not because they looked good in their tight armour, it was because everyone knows gay guys are incredibly fastidious, even when on the battle field and the trusty blue broom was safe- and used!  Whew, lucky we sorted that Parisian mystery out!!

Either that, or it was a really cranky cleaner who said 'bugger this!" and chucked his broom out the window of the highest point of Notre Damn.
