Charlemagne

The two lives of Charlemagne Einhard and Charlemagne by Notker the Stammerer are quite different from the life of the great emperor. Einhard taught us a historical overview of the life of Charlemagne, who lived between 742 and 84 in the Christian era. Charlemagne was also known as King Charles and Frank. Charles is one of the four children born in the palace chief of Pepin Garoling Empire. He has brothers, Carloman and two sisters, Gisela and Pepin. Since the woman at the time did not inherit power, when the Pepin the Short died, the royal powers of Carolingian Empire were divided and shared by Charlemagne and his brother Carloman.

Since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the third century Charlemagne was the first Roman emperor in Western Europe. In 768, the father of Charlemagne "Pepin the Short" died. As the eldest son, Charlemagne inherited the throne. Three years after Frank became king, Charlemagne left Western Europe. He invaded Saxony in 772 AD and crowned the king of Italy in 774 AD. When Charlemagne was awarded "Emperor" by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day, he reached his power in 800 BC. This compulsion brought about major discussion and power struggle between the Pope and the Emperor. This is because the Pope crowned the emperor, which indicates that the Pope elected to give power to the emperor. Charlemagne is also known as Charles the Great or Charles I.

In 799, Pope Leo III was attacked by the Romans. He flew to Charlemagne and asked for his help. Charlemagne rescued his power by helping the pope. This caused Pope Leo III to crown Charlemagne 's "Roman Emperor" at St. Peter's Basilica on 25 December 800. In this way Charlemagne became the first Holy Roman Emperor and founded an empire comparable to the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire. Historians consider this to be one of the most important moments in the history of the world.

It is unclear which agreement has been reached, but Charlemagne visited Rome 800 years to support the Pope. At the Christmas ceremony at St. Peters Cathedral, Leo should use Charlemagne's son as his successor. But unexpectedly (maintained), when Charlemagne got up from prayer, the pope placed a crown on his head and praised him as an emperor. Charlemagne expressed dissatisfaction but accepted honor. Because the legal emperor is definitely one of Constantinople, this dissatisfaction may be diplomatic. Nonetheless, this official alliance between the Pope and the rulers of the Germanic family now reflects the reality of Western political power. It began the concept of a new Holy Roman Empire that plays an important role throughout the new Middle Ages.
