There is no historical evidence to suggest that Charlemagne killed his sons. Charlemagne was known for his efforts to ensure a peaceful succession by dividing his empire among his sons and setting up a system of co-rulership.
Charlemagne did not formally attend school. He received his education from private tutors and advisors at his father's court.
Charlemagne had a tumultuous relationship with the Saxons, as they resisted his efforts to Christianize them and integrate them into his empire. The conflict culminated in the thirty-year Saxon Wars, during which Charlemagne used military force to subdue and convert the Saxons to Christianity. After their defeat, the Saxons eventually became part of Charlemagne's Frankish Empire.
Charlemagne and his brother Carloman initially had a turbulent relationship, but eventually reconciled and worked together to co-rule the Frankish Kingdom after their father's death. Their partnership ended with Carloman's untimely death in 771, which paved the way for Charlemagne to become the sole ruler.

His presence serves to highlight the generational conflict and the quest for personal fulfillment in the story.
