| | Charlemagne's Biography |
| | eyond the legends of Charlemagne lies a biography worthy of the tales. | | | It follows the plan of Suetonius’ Lives of the Caesars, and even snatches passages therefrom to apply to Charlemagne; but all is forgiven to an author who modestly describes himself as “a barbarian, very little versed in the Roman tongue.” | | | To the medieval mind, only King Arthur vied with Charlemagne as the finest example of what a Christian king could be. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Francis of Assisi |
| | The fact that there is no record of this Indulgence in either the papal or diocesan archives and no allusion to it in the earliest biographies of Francis or other contemporary documents has led some writers to reject the whole story. | | | Recent years have witnessed a truly remarkable upgrowth of interest in the life and work of St. Francis, more especially among non-Catholics, and Assisi has become in consequence the goal of a new race of pilgrims. | | | It is upon these works that all the later biographies of Francis's life are based. |

| | Instead, we willingly accept his biographers' tales of the child prodigy and his predestined rise to fame. | | | But curiously, it is Michelangelo's claim to noble birth, about which he was most adamant, that is precisely the part of his biography that often has been eyed with skepticism, as myth or self-delusion. | | | It is little wonder that he styled himself an aristocrat and tended to obscure his humble origins. |
