En el salón del reino

Fui al salón del reino a visitar al rey, mi viejo amigo, y quien ayer era alegre, y aquel cuya voz resonaba en las bóvedas, animaba los banquetes, recibía con alegría al extranjero, y ordenaba siempre con justicia, se mostraba hoy taciturno, envejecido, derrotado, reclinado sobre su lado derecho, en el trono en el que se hundía como una sombra que se alejara. Llegó, con extenuación que delataba su prisa, a pesar de la cual se arrodilló solemnemente, un paje. Venía de la guerra. Anunció negras noticias que cernían sus sombras sobre una batalla decisiva. Le escuchaba el rey mientras la oscuridad invadía el salón del reino. No parecía el rey dar muestras de tristeza, tan solo un gesto de inquisitiva extrañeza, hijo de la locura, mas cuando se alejó el paje adoptó su rostro un gesto conmovido y vi en el rostro del rey lo que no había visto jamás allí nunca: una lágrima temblaba, vacilante, sobre su párpado: pequeña, insignificante.

Aachen - Germany

The home to the throne of Charlemagne.

A tour of the city of Aachen: the throne of the Holy Roman Empire is here, in the Cathedral. The Byzantine style cathedral was later decorated with the rich patterns we see now. In the days of Charlemagne those weren't there.

Aachen is a fascinating city with a rich history, and there are many interesting facts that most people don't know about.

First of all, Aachen is located in western Germany, near the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. It was once the capital of the Frankish Empire, and later the Holy Roman Empire. The city is known for its historic architecture, including the impressive Aachen Cathedral, which was built in the ninth century and served as the coronation church for German kings and queens for centuries.

One of the most interesting facts about Aachen is that it was the favorite city of Charlemagne, the famous Frankish king who ruled from 768 to 814. Charlemagne spent a great deal of time in Aachen, and it was here that he built his palace, which became the center of his empire. The palace was known as the Palatium Aquisgranum, and it was one of the most impressive buildings of its time. Unfortunately, very little of it remains today, but you can still see some of the original walls and foundations if you visit the city.

Aachen was also the site of one of the most important treaties in European history. In 843, the Treaty of Verdun was signed in Aachen, which divided the Frankish Empire into three parts and laid the foundation for the modern states of France, Germany, and Italy. The treaty was negotiated by Charlemagne's grandsons, who had been fighting for control of the empire for several years. The Treaty of Verdun is considered one of the most significant events in European history, and it marked the end of the Carolingian dynasty.

French Music

1943 was the year when Charles Trenet, a narbonnais chanteur, composed this classic. France was occupied by the Nazi at that time, so Trenet wrote this song to moral support to the "expatriés de force", that is all the French war prisoners who were taken by force from their homeland to Nazi Germany. And we can only imagine how warming could have been for those French people to hear verses like "(France) Bercée de tendre insouciance, je t'ai gardée dans mon cœur".

The title of the song is a reference to a truism first appeared in the XI century medieval epic "La Chanson de Roland" and his "dulce Francia". In a part of the epic poem, in fact, count Roland was lying under a pine tree and, when he turned his head towards Spain, a strong sense of nostalgia made him think about the many lands the baron had conquered, the men of his lineage and about his lord Charlemagne, who had raised him. Beside these painful memories, Roland couldn't help but sobbing and crying for his "douce France".

Another little-known fact about Aachen is that it was once one of the most important centers of learning in Europe. Charlemagne was a great patron of the arts and sciences, and he brought many scholars to his court in Aachen. The city was home to one of the first schools of music in Europe, and it was also a center for the study of theology and law. Today, you can visit the Carolus Magnus Center, which is dedicated to the life and legacy of Charlemagne and includes a museum and a library.

Aachen was also the site of one of the most important treaties in European history.

Aachen, a beautiful city in western Germany, is home to one of the most important historical landmarks in Europe: the Throne of Charlemagne. This simple but striking throne is located inside the Aachen Cathedral, which is renowned for its stunning Byzantine architecture.

The Aachen Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Stephen, was built in the 8th century under the direction of Charlemagne himself. The cathedral is famous for its ornate design, which incorporates elements of both Byzantine and Germanic styles. The cathedral's interior is particularly noteworthy, with its grand arches, intricate mosaics, and colorful frescoes.

The Throne of Charlemagne is a key highlight of the cathedral. The throne was originally built in the 9th century, and it served as the ceremonial seat of the Holy Roman Emperor for centuries.

Charlemagne himself is an important figure in European history. He was the first ruler of the Holy Roman Empire and is widely regarded as one of the greatest medieval kings. During his reign, he united much of Western Europe under his rule and played a key role in the spread of Christianity across the continent.

Charlemagne was born in what we call now Belgium. Some say he is French. Some say he is German. We might just say: Charlemagne was European.

In German, Charlemagne is known as Karl der Große, and in Italian, he is called Carlo Magno. His name has become synonymous with power and influence, and his legacy can still be felt throughout Europe today.

Visiting the Throne of Charlemagne and the Aachen Cathedral is an unforgettable experience for anyone interested in European history and architecture.
