The kiog was Charles of France—who, by the way, wae born in what is now Germany. He was destined fn later years to become known as Charles the Great, or Charlemagne. iis wite—or, rather, the second of a series of wivce—was Desiderata, daughter of Desiderius, King of Lombardy. Charlemagne’s brother, Carlo- man, was also a son-in-law of Desiderius. The brothers hated each other; Desiderius hated them both, and Charlemagne hated Desiderata. So alto- gether it was a somewhat turbulent little family group. Charlemagne succeeded his father, Pepin, as King of France—or, rather, of the Franks—in 768, when he was twenty-six. Carloman also came in fot a share of Pepin's domains. The young King’s mother arranged the maten between Charlemagne and Desiderata.
