The Saxon Wars
The prolonged campaigns against the Saxons (c. 772–804) were arguably the most brutal of Charlemagne’s reign. These wars involved forced conversions, mass deportations, and the controversial Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae, which mandated the death penalty for refusing baptism or observing pagan rites [3]. The decisive moment often cited is the Massacre of Verden in 782, although modern historians debate the exact number of casualties, the symbolic importance remains high.
