The Countless Lives of Charlemagne

Einhardt's "The Life of Charlemagne" is not too long, there are no 30 pages. All pages concern the discussion about the former king, the first and half pages concern the history of the Saxon war, and this kind of thing. These things are still very important and help to provide a context on what happened at the time but they certainly can leave more room for more talking about Charlemagne I can do it. I discovered that this applies in particular to Charlemagne.

A lot of people have heard about Charlemagne, but I do not know much about who he is and what he is doing. Indeed, Charlemagne was not born in Charlemagne but only Charles. Born in an unknown place on April 2, 742, a son of Pepin 's short story, Charles acquired France' s Charlemagne and many other titles during his long and prosperous era. His father left the empire to him and his brother Caroman II, but in 771, Carloman II made Charlemagne the only king at the age of 29. In the coming years, he began many wars, conquered the land and a large area of ​​countless people, thereby increasing his father's empire. Charlemagne not only added his own empire, but also helped the church and represented typical Catholics. Charles, for example, rescued Pope Leo III from imprisonment and sent it back to Rome with an armed escort.

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.
