  2. Make sure that you are viewing this in “Slide Show” format. Click on “Slide Show” and push “from beginning”. Move through the presentation by pushing on the “up” and “down” arrows” on your keyboard Click me How did this guy get in charge of the Catholic Church? Were Popes always in control of the church? Were Popes once more powerful than this Pope is now?

  3. The Catholic ChurchThe only “absolute” Click me • The Catholic Church was the only universal European institution, as it represented hope through salvation • The church preserved Greco-Roman culture within monasteries and through illuminated manuscripts (illiteracy becomes quickly widespread among the masses) • Church missionaries preserve the Latin alphabet through Christian teachings • The church served the social and religious needs of all peoples within their parishes

  4. The Catholic Church grows up Click Here • At the beginning of the Dark Age the church itself was unorganized. Church authority grows slowly with local priests and bishops holding the majority of power • Church authority on a national scale took shape around 800 CE/AD when Pope Leo III anoints Charlemagne emperor of Rome and sets a precedence of church authority over civil authority • The foundations of early medieval society are found in a combination of classical Roman heritage, Christian beliefs and customs of Germanic tribes This guy (Pope Leo III) changes everything!

  5. The Germanic Tribes also grow up Click me • There are two important leaders of the Franks in the Dark Age (this is the start of the bridge between the Classical and Modern Eras) • The Franks are led by Clovis (481 to 511 CE/AD) who unites all of the Franks in Gaul and converts them to Christianity • Charles Martel then led the Franks in the Battle of Tours (732 CE/AD) and defeats the advancing Muslims (Moors), thus securing Christianity as Europe’s dominant religion Not Those Franks!

  6. Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire(The Franks really grow up) • Charlemagne was the King of the Franks from 768 to 800 CE/AD • As king he worked to unite all Germanic people into one kingdom and convert them to Christianity through warfare (forced conversions) • Charlemagne did a lot of “dirty work” for Pope Leo III while he completed his mission • Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne the “Emperor of Rome” in 800 CE/AD as a reward for his service to the Pope Click Here The Pope was so powerful that he decided who would be in charge of an entire empire (that’s power!)

  7. Charlemagne’s Legacy Click Here • Charlemagne was the first leader of the Holy Roman Empire (800 to 1806 CE/AD), which covered France, Germany, the northwestern Baltic region, northern Italy, and the Alps • Charlemagne as emperor worked to sooth tensions with the Byzantine Empire, who did accept him as the leader of a united “Rome” • He supported learning through schools and a formalized Christian doctrine (written canons and laws followed by all Christians) • Charlemagne fostered a renaissance of Roman culture in medieval Europe The Holy Roman Empire at Charlemagne's death (814 CE/AD)
