I bet you’re wondering where Charlemagne’s skull is. Well, the top part of it, at least, is inside this reliquary, which was created around the year 1350, probably at the insistence of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who idolized Charlemagne.

We can find another late medieval depiction of Charlemagne on the scepter that was used by most of France’s kings after the 1370s, when it was created for Charles V:

King’s Field Pendant
Tumblr media
This magnificent pendant is the ultimate proof that the “Dark Ages” is an academic concept. Rather than Europe plummeting into darkness because of the “fall” of the Western Roman Empire, it’s more the lack of academic interest in the Early Middle Ages.
This Anglo-Saxon pendant was found on King’s Field (Kent) and is made of gold and garnet, but decorated extremely intricately with gabuchon, filigree and granulation. The garnet was used to form a triskele with round centre and ending in bird heads. At just 3,5 cm across, this was made by a master craftsman with materials from all over the known world.
The pendant might have been worn on a bit of string or rope, or it may have been worn as part of a glass beaded necklace. The pendant likely belonged to a woman.

Me: so they’re probably going to do a ce with Charlemagne and Roland since they’re both new and it would make sense to just have them together-
