Aix-La-Chapelle And Charlemagne's Tomb - Germany And Austria Aix-la-Chapelle lay extended before me, partly hid by the shades of evening, which were falling around. The chapel claimed the skeleton, and Barbarossa the marble chair, which afterward became the throne where thirty-six emperors were crowned. All the emotions, all the thoughts and visions which flitted across my mind during the day, now crowded upon me. The first of the two dark objects was to me only the birthplace of a child; the second was the resting-place of greatness. www.oldandsold.com /articles13/travel-135.shtml

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aachen The precious relics obtained by Charlemagne and Otho III for the imperial chapel were the objects of great pilgrimages in the Middle Ages (the so-called "Shrine Pilgrimages") which drew countless swarms of pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Hungary, England, Sweden, and other countries. This last is the most important monument of Carolingian architecture, it was built between 796 and 804, in the reign of Charlemagne, by Master Odo of Metz, and modelled after the Italian circular church of San Vitale at Ravenna. There appears to have been a royal court in Aachen under the Merovingians, but it rose to greater importance under Charlemagne who chose it as his favourite place of residence, adorned it with a noble-imperial palace and chapel, and gave orders that he should be buried there. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01001a.htm

History of CHARLEMAGNE The French name of Aachen, Aix-la-Chapelle, specifically features this famous building - a small but richly decorated octagonal chapel which Charlemagne has consciously modelled on another famous imperial church, Justinian's San Vitale in Ravenna. He is consecrating Charlemagne's spectacular new church in Aachen, begun just nine years previously in 796. The pope's journey north in 805 makes it plain that Rome cannot assume precedence in this new Christian partnership; and when Charlemagne decides to crown his only surviving son, Louis, as co-emperor in 813, the ceremony takes place in the imperial chapel at Aachen without the pope. www.historyworld.net /wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=aa20

This allowed the congresses to be the most sparkling social events in European History, with brilliantly uniformed emperors, kings, princes, ministers and ambassadors attending to the lighter pursuits of dancing and love-making between the more serious bussiness of discussion, intrigue and spying.

Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.1, Entry 272, CONGRESS: Library of Economics and Liberty CONGRESS (IN By congress is understood a meeting of ministers plenipotentiary or sovereigns of different states, having the power and mission to conclude a treaty of peace, determine the consequences of a treaty concluded, or settle undecided points of international law. The method pursued by congresses in their work is not uniform, and depends upon the more or less general character of the meeting, the number of states represented, and their reciprocal relations. The congress which was to regulate the affairs of Italy at the end of 1859, was not able, as we know, to assemble, on account of inability to reconcile opposing interests. www.econlib.org /library/YPDBooks/Lalor/llCy272.html   (1702 words)
