"The truth is that Charlemagne encountered an extremely vigorous resistance in Spain; and Eginhard exaggerates when he declares that Charlemagne occupied the whole country as far as the Ebro. In reality he reached the river only at two points— in the upper valley, to the south of Navarre; and in the lower valley, at Tortosa, if we can believe that this city was really occupied." --Mohammed and Charlemagne (1922) by Henri Pirenne |
