Schleifring, Joachim H; Galassi, Francesco M; Habicht, Michael E; Rühli, Frank J (2018). Autopsing history: The mummy of Charlemagne (c. 747 - 814 AD), father of Europe. Economics and Human Biology, 32:11-17.
In this article, a complete history of Charlemagne's mortal remains is outlined, including the first publication reporting on the most recent tomb opening in 1988. Besides exclusive bioarchaeological details - namely that his body was indeed mummified - a full clinical interpretation of the Emperor's final illnesses and death is given: a likely combination of osteoarthritis, gout and a recurrent fever caused by an infectious disease.
