The FRANKS

Explore the remarkable life of Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, who transformed Europe through his intelligent governance, military prowess, and dedication to education and religion. Ruling from Aachen, he revitalized local and federal governments, promoting trade and improving the lives of his people. As a patron of scholars during the Carolingian Renaissance, he established schools, standardized education, and fostered a unified language. His conquests expanded Christianity across his empire, ultimately leading him to be crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III.
