Charlemagne – The Father of Europe

Overview

At a time of political chaos Charlemagne creates a united Europe – only for his family to rip it apart as sons turn on their father and brother fights brother. In telling the course of his travels through Europe and Asia David takes the audience from the magnificent mosques of legendary Samarkand to archaeological digs at medieval English castles, colourful picnics in Georgia, the ancient walls of Constantinople and joins in a traditional horseback buzkashi tournament in Uzbekistan.
