Charlemagne's birth date isn't really know for sure: Some sources give the year of his birth as 742 AD, others as 747 AD, others again as 748 AD. "Charlemagne is traditionally believed to have been born on April 2, 742; however, several factors have led to a reconsideration of this date. First, the year 742 was calculated from his age given at death, rather than from attestation in primary sources. Another date is given in the Annales Petarienses, April 1, 747. In that year, April 1 was at Easter. The birth of an emperor at eastertime is a coincidence likely to provoke comment, but there was no such comment documented in 747, leading some to suspect that the Easter birthday was a pious fiction concocted as a way of honoring the Emperor. Other commentators weighing the primary records have suggested that his birth was one year later, in 748." Source(s): http://www.nndb.com/people/180/000085922... BTW France wasn't even France when he was born. He was born to the royal family of the Franks, a German tribe that had moved into Roman Gaul centuries earlier. He wouldn't have spoken French because it didn't exist yet, he would have spoken Frankish (a German dialect closest to Dutch) and probably Latin as a second language. Now what about all the other guys .... Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Buddha, Alexander the Great ....

Gay Activists Mock ‘Memories Pizza’ After They Buy 2 Pizzas for Their 3rd Gay Wedding Gay activists Robin Trevino and Jason Delgatto went to Memories Pizza in Indiana and bought two pizzas for their third public marriages. gatewaypundit What's the big deal? They never said they wouldn't sell pizzas to gay people. None of the small businesses gays have tried to destroy were refusing to do business with gays. "Third public marriage?" Well, if you're only getting married as a stunt, why not do it every weekend? They've probably been to the Gay Marriage Capitol of America, Rowan County Kentucky, to get a marriage license there for one of their marriages.
