Charlemagne Introduction from SmartHistory

I am teaching post-classical Europe to my freshmen and just found this awesome Smarthistory introduction to Charlemagne.

Harris and Zucker place Constantine in context, reminding us about the fall of Rome and the existence of the Byzantine Empire. They go on to explain why Charlemagne is such a big deal. 

Their presentation is engaging and ideal for students.
