Danish-English translations for karl den store

CharlemagneAs you well know, we have been Europeans ever since the days of Charlemagne. Vi har som bekendt været europæere siden Karl den Stores tid. A few months ago, we had a entire debate because the President of the Commission, Mr Prodi, said that European history dates from the time of Charlemagne. For nogle måneder siden havde vi en længere diskussion, fordi kommissionsformanden hr. Prodi havde udtalt, at den europæiske historie starter på Karl den Stores tid. The vice-chairman of my committee said, referring to the history of the euro, that we would have to go back as far as Charlemagne and probably Diocletian, who is the grandfather of the euro. Næstformanden for mit udvalg sagde, idet han gik tilbage i euroens historie, at man skulle tilbage til Karl den Store, og sandsynligvis til Diocletian, som er euroens bedstefar.
