Most, possibly all, of the medieval kings of Germany were literate.

Germany was an alternative name for the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, and the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were referred to by the title King of Germany from the time they were elected until they were crowned by the pope. The title is also used for kings of the earlier East Frankish Kingdom, starting with Louis II, who was a king of the Carolingian dynasty. All of these people came after Charlemagne, who put strong emphasis on education, raising the standards for all people of his kingdom. In fact, the period of Charlemagne and the Carolingian Empire is referred to as the Carolingian Renaissance, and the period of the first three emperors of the Holy Roman Empire is referred to as the Ottonian Renaissance.
