Copyright by Gcbbie *ii Co. THE LAST OF THE MEROVINGIANS Germany—Conquest of the Lombards 539 Writers of his own day tell us that Charles was seven feet tall; that hisarm was as irresistible as his genius; that no man could match him with weap-ons or, oddly intermingling with his other accomplishments, in swimming.His bearing was majestic, his beard light brown and curling, his eyes blue andso keen that no man was ever found who could face his look. Even if we sub-tract a few inches from this description, we have still remaining a tall andimposing figure. Like his father and grandfather, Charles was a man of iron,the chief of his nation, not simply in rank, but also in intellectual ability andbodily strength. We are told that when Charles took up the Popes quarrel and attackedthe Lombards, their king, Desiderius, watched from his city walls the comingof the Prankish host. When Charles himself appeared, the splendor of hisbearing, the awful aspect of his menacing figure in full armor
