Another gem from Captivating History

Wow, great book! A real page-turner loved it. The fascinating history of some of Europe's significant rulers, don't miss it.

It's a fairly accurate book.

This book included the beginning with a brief history of the Roman Empire. It's vital that they did this because Roman is pretty much identical with him.

Excellent

I was initially hesitant to buy anything from the "Captivating History" line because I had some preconceived notion that it was a company that hired broke history majors to throw together a quick narrative, as opposed to an expert in a particular historical subject writing an engaging and informative work. Boy, was I wrong. I was very pleased with the quality of this book, and I learned a great deal about the Holy Roman Empire and Carolingian Empire. I'll definitely be getting more books from the Captivating History series in the future.

Well written but not engaging.

Not so much for the enjoyment that I at times received from listening to it. The US founding fathers would have been informed of much of this history, and the US Constitution's safeguards would have been influenced by the efforts of the "Empire".
