Research AD 777, another milestone.

I got this;  The year 777 AD is most know for: The event of Charlemage defeating the Saxons, and the births of Pippin of Italy, Queen Bertha of Toulouse, Yuhanna Ibn Masawaiyh, St. Barnard and Hildegard, the daughter of Emperor Charlemagne

I recognize the name Charlemage, but I do not know the event, nor its significance. Thanks I will have to read more about it.  Loving history now as an adult, hated it as a teen.
