But, from various data, we may infer that he was born somewhere about the year 742, nearly seven years before his father, Pepin the Short, assumed the title of king. Charlemagne’s mother was Bertha (or Bertrada) , daughter of Charibert (or Caribert) , Count of Leon (or Laon) .  \n1. Charlemagne’s mother was    \na. Bertha  \nb. Charibert  \nc. Leona  \nd. Pepin  \nOf Charlemagne’s boyhood we know as little as of his birth. He seems at an early age to have mingled in the real business of life, for when only twelve years old, we find him dispatched to receive and welcome the sovereign pontiff who came to implore his father's aid against the barbarians that threatened Rome. From the usual habits of the Franks, it is also probable that he accompanied Pepin in his campaigns at an early age. But the first time that we really see Charlemagne in the field, is on the renewal of the war with the rebellious Duke of Aquitaine.  \n2. The Frankish rulers never took their children into battle because it was too dangerous.  \na. True  \nb. False  \nUpon the death of Pepin, in 768, Charlemagne and his younger brother, Carloman, succeeded to equal portions of one of the most powerful European kingdoms, bounded by the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Mediterranean, and the ocean. But this would hardly have enabled the monarchs, even had they been united, to resist successfully the incursions of the barbarous tribes on the German frontiers of France. These barbarian incursions had commenced with the first establishment of the Frankish dominion in Gaul, and were kept alive by the constant pouring out of fresh hordes from the overpopulated North.  \n3. Which of the following did not forma border for the Frankish kingdoms in 768?  \na. Alps  \nb. Atlantic Ocean  \nc. Mediterranean Sea  \nd. Pyrenees  \ne. Urals  \nThe situation of Charlemagne was rendered yet more perilous by the passive enmity of his brother, and the rebellion of Hunald, the turbulent Duke of Aquitaine. But fortunately, Charlemagne had a genius equal to the difficulties of his situation. Though his brother refused to aid him, Charlemagne defeated Hunald. No less illustrious by his clemency than by his valor and military skill, Charlemagne forgave the vanquished rebel.  \n4. Who was the “turbulent Duke of Aquitaine”?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nDesiderius, the king of Lombardy, had made large encroachments upon the states of the Roman pontiff, whose cause was taken up by Charlemagne. This led to feuds, which Bertha, the mother of the  \nFrankish king, endeavored to appease by bringing about a union between her son and the daughter of the Lombard (Desiderata) . But Charlemagne soon took a disgust to the wife thus imposed upon him, and repudiated her, that he might marry Hildegarde, the daughter of a noble family in Suabia (or Swabia) .  \nHildegarde of Vinzgouw (or Swabia).  \n5. Bertha arranged a marriage between Charlemagne and whom?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nMatching: Match each person to his or her description.  \n6.   Bertrada  \n7.   Caribert  \n8.   Carloman  \n9.   Desiderata  \n10.   Desiderius  \n11.   Hildegarde  \n12.   Hunald  \n13.   Pepin the Short  \nA. Brother of Charlemagne  \nB. Duke of Aquitaine  \nC. Father of Bertrada; maternal grandfather of Charlemagne  \nD. Father of Charlemagne  \nE. Father of Desiderata; first father-in-law of Charlemagne  ","cbCaidMROQT2ahoa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidMROQT2ahoa","pdf",520040,19,"English","# Charlemagne Background\n## Early Life and Family\n## Early Conflicts and Aquitaine\n## Rulers and Battles\n## Marriage and Succession\n## Saxons and Campaigns\n# Exercises\n## Multiple-Choice Questions\n## Matching Exercise","[{\"question\":\"Where does the workbook say Charlemagne was born, and what does it conclude?\",\"answer\":\"It states that the birthplace of Charlemagne is unknown, but suggests he was born around the year 742 based on various data.\"},{\"question\":\"What question does the workbook ask about Charlemagne’s mother?\",\"answer\":\"It asks: “Charlemagne’s mother was” and provides options including Bertha and Charibert.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the workbook’s exercise about when it says “Matching: Match each person to his or her description”?\",\"answer\":\"It instructs the reader to match listed people related to Charlemagne (e.g., Bertrada, Caribert, Desiderata) with descriptions such as family relations and roles like “Duke of Aquitaine” or “First wife of Charlemagne”.\"}]","CHARLEMAGNE (742-814) - Biography Workbook Series - Student Handouts | PDF",1792381691,48,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,104,108,111,116,121,125,130,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},70,"exam",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":124},"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":128,"slug":129},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":91,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":143,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":144},"General","general"]
