Charlemagne fought in about 53 military conquests and gave the defeated a choice. Christianity or death. Many chose Christianity, but some who were very religious chose death. Charlemagne was a man of his word. He killed over 4,500 people.
Clovis' principle contribution was marrying Clotilde who was Catholic and as a result forcing all his subjects to become Roman Catholic--they were Arians before that. In fact the vast majority of Christians were Arians until this time, but this conversion threw the majority over to Rome. Wikipedia says: "Clovis was converted to Catholicism;[6] at the instigation of his wife, Clotilde, a Burgundian Gothic princess who was a Catholic in spite of the Arianism which surrounded her at court. The followers of Catholicism believe that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three persons in one God, as opposed to the Arian Christianity, whose followers believed that God and Jesus were two completely separate beings and the Holy Spirit was not entirely separate from God but was the Power of God, a belief system common among the Goths who ruled most of Gaul at the time." Charlemagne's primary contribution to Christianity was to force the Saxons at sword-point to become Christians.
You need to specify what the following factors are if you want to make it possible to answer your question.
He spread education and religion through his kingdom
NOOO!!!Charles Martel is the grandfather of Charlemagne."Martel" means Hammer because Charles Martel stopped Muslims from expanding in the Battle of Tours. He never became emperor.His grandson, Charlemagne centralized the Germanic peoples by traveling a lot to ensure his control and also setting up a system with counts (local rulers) and missi dominici to check on the counts.He was crowned emperor by Pope Leo 2 after fighting off the Lombards (barbarians). He helped spread Christianity by becoming one. (ex: Saxons forced to convert to Christianity since Charlemagne defeated them)

clovis helped spread christianity by making it the only legal religion
Clovis, the first king of the Franks, converted to Christianity in 496, bringing Christianity to the Frankish kingdom. This conversion had a ripple effect, as his successors continued to promote Christianity, gradually spreading it throughout the realm. Charlemagne, as the King of the Franks and later the Emperor of the Carolingian Empire, actively promoted Christianity through various means, such as supporting missionary work, promoting education in monasteries, and enforcing Christian laws. His efforts played a significant role in the spread and consolidation of Christianity in Western Europe.
Charlemagne helped spread Christianity throughout the Frankish Empire and the lands he conquered. He spread Christianity through both peaceful conversion efforts and military conquests.
Charlemagne, the Roman Emperor
Charlemagne was a Roman Catholic Christian. His ancestor Clovis the Frank was the first frankish ruler to convert to Catholic Christianity which steered the course of his nation and their descendants to be a catholic nation. Charlemagne himself was also very religious and allied with the Catholic Church to create the Holy Roman Empire
Romania hasn't contributed to the spread of Christianity.

It was Charlemagne.
The conversion of Clovis.

In fact the vast majority of Christians were Arians until this time, but this conversion threw the majority over to Rome. Wikipedia says: "Clovis was converted to Catholicism;[6] at the instigation of his wife, Clotilde, a Burgundian Gothic princess who was a Catholic in spite of the Arianism which surrounded her at court.

Charlemagne's primary contribution to Christianity was to force the Saxons at sword-point to become Christians.
Charlemagne spread Christianity throughout the Empire by going to war with many people. After defeating them, he gave them two choices: Christianity or death. Many chose Christianity, while other stayed faithful to their past religion. Because he "always kept his promises" he killed over 4,500 people.AnswerCharlemagne used conquests and tyranny to spread Christianity. Kathleen Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, said, "Charlemagne converted whole tribes by the sword." In the year 782, the Frankish king Charlemagne reputedly beheaded forty-five hundred Saxons who resisted his campaign of forced conversion to Christianity. In 800, the Pope crowned Charlemagne in Rome, as Holy Roman Emperor.
