Dating back to around 1350 in Aachen, Germany, his influence spread far and wide across the continent. In this captivating image captured in an incunabula Chronicles miniature, we witness a momentous meeting between Charlemagne and Pope Adrian I.

In another intriguing scene depicted here, Alcuin presents his knowledge to Rabanus Maurus, showcasing the importance of education during Charlemagne's reign. Roland, one of Charlemagne's most loyal knights immortalized in literature such as "The Song of Roland, " also makes an appearance.
