Abstract:Charlemagne has three kinds of different style costume according to Early Lives of Charlemagne and which are Frank costume, Roman costume and Byzantine costume. All the details of the three kinds of costume can be found corresponding in contemporary images, through which we can get a clear idea about Charlegmane??s costume and image. What??s more, we can find that Charlemagne??s costume combines the three kinds of style. The combination clearly shows that the era of Charlemagne is the beginning of the formation of European culture, which is composed of classical culture, Christian culture and barbarian culture. This combination is not only a historical necessity, but also a result of Charlemagne??s intentional shaping.
