Charlemagne was the ruler of the ancient Frankish Empire and the emperor of the Western Roman Empire. He ruled the empire for more than 40 years, fought more than 50 battles, occupied vast territories, made outstanding military exploits, and expanded the Frankish Empire to its peak in history. He is the famous "Father of European Kings". Later, his grandson divided the empire into three parts, establishing the fragmented territory of modern and Western Europe .
Emperor Charlemagne was famous in his prosperous times and left vast lands and rich inheritance to his children and grandchildren. He was a good father to his sons. But to his queens, he was a real ruthless scumbag. Charlemagne was married five times in his life and had countless concubines. His marriages were basically political marriages. His wives were his foot-wipes on the road to expansion and were disposable ( (Charlemagne) 
So many marriages , also brought him five beautiful daughters. So what kind of father is he in the hearts of his daughters? Charlemagne Most of these five daughters are half-sisters. They are young and beautiful, and are the daughters of emperors. They are naturally rich and status-oriented, and are ideal marriage partners for noble ministers and foreign princes.
The cultural quality of ancient Europeans was very low, and not all of them had it. Knowledge, Charlemagne was a rare literate man of that era. He paid great attention to the education of his children. Both his sons and daughters received a good education. Charlemagne loved family life very much and loved his children very much. He went on an expedition. Sometimes he often brought his extended family with him.
Charlemagne was still a filial son who had been living with his mother, Mrs. Bert. After his mother passed away, he was buried with his father in the Cathedral of Saint-Denis, with great honor. He was even very kind to his sisters. But the strange thing is that all the daughters of Charlemagne remained unmarried and ended up in their father's palace. The reason was that their father Charlemagne did not allow his daughters to get married. What is this? Situation?
(Charlemagne)
According to the content in "The Biography of Charlemagne" written by Einhard, it can be seen that Charlemagne's idea at the time was "Because the daughters are very beautiful, Charlemagne cannot lose being with his daughters. He wanted them all to stay at home until he died. He wanted to live with his daughters for a lifetime. "Emma, what are these words? A father loves his daughter so much that he doesn't let his daughter get married?
He doesn't let his daughters get married. , Such parents are simply stupid, but this should only be the superficial reason. Charlemagne himself made the most of marriage. Perhaps it was for this reason that he had a clear understanding of the nature of aristocratic men and did not want his daughters to become other people. A stepping stone for men, so he rejected all domestic and foreign suitors on the grounds that he did not want his father and daughter to be separated.
Another reason is that Charlemagne spent his whole life expanding his territory and conquering the world for future generations. He never wanted others to divide him. When princesses get married, unlike ordinary women, their dowry is at least a city or even a fief. This is a completely unacceptable loss for Charlemagne, who regards territory as his life. It is better to give away his daughter. They were raised happily in the palace.
(The Pope crowned Charlemagne)
Single life is good, but married life is also full of fun. Using the authority of the father and depriving the daughter of the right to choose under the guise of loving her daughter, is this really a father who loves his daughter? He is reluctant to give his daughter even a share of his property. To say that he loves her is too ridiculous. Shouldn't true love mean supporting a daughter's choice and then using her family's assets and status to be her daughter's strong backing?
However, Charlemagne's behavior soon caused him trouble, because all his daughters were unmarried, and father and daughter were very close. Some gossip began to spread in the palace, and people suspected him and himself. The daughters have any immoral relations.Einhard wrote in the book "Charlemagne": Charlemagne had an incestuous relationship with his two daughters, Freodorto and Beta, and gave birth to children respectively.
Oh, buy hookup! Although the princesses were not married, they were free to love. They had many lovers, and they did have some illegitimate children. No one knew whether they were Charlemagne's. Charlemagne turned a blind eye to these rumors. No matter how turbulent the public opinion was, he refused to agree to his daughter's marriage. This is really puzzling.
