Charlemagne : le roi, le guerrier, l’empereur des chretiens/chef des croises/saint et finalement l’homme.
Charlemagne demeure, au moins jusqu’au debut du XXe siecle, une reference essentielle, une incarnation du grand homme tel que l’on peut le rever a cette epoque. Il est vrai que, mis a part Louis XIV et Napoleon, la figure de pouvoir a laquelle il est fait le plus souvent reference est celle de Charlemagne, dans un phenomene de reappropriation d’une identite francaise qui doit beaucoup aux legendes historiographiques mises en place au Moyen Age pour legitimer la monarchie francaise. L’image tardive de Charlemagne est ainsi le fruit d’un lent processus de mythification, qui commence des la mort de l’empereur, en 814. C’est cette figure, a la fois monolithique et contrastee, que cet ouvrage suit dans l’histoire, litteraire avant tout, en partant a la quete du personnage dans ses facettes fondamentales : le roi, le guerrier, l’empereur des chretiens/chef des croises/saint et finalement l’homme.
