Here's a little quote from Einhard.
Bear
"His health was good until four years before he died, when he suffered from
constant fevers. Toward the very end he also became lame in one foot. Even
then he trusted his own judgment rather than the advice of his physicians,
whom he almost loathed, since they urged him to stop eating roast meat,
which he liked, and to start eating boiled meat."
Einhard, The Life of Charlemagne, chapter 22.
