Note 26 — PART I HIS EXPLOITS AT HOME AND ABROAD
A. J. (Arthur James) Grant translation
The war against the Avars was due to the alliance which had existed between them and Tassilo, Duke of Bavaria. The Avars, though allied in race to the ancient Huns and the modern Magyars, were, nevertheless, a distinct people. Charles’s war entirely broke their power, and removed a great danger from western Europe.
