How did the emperor Charlemagne impose Christianity?

Was Charlemagne good for the Church?
The Holy Roman Empire came into being under the Frankish warlord Charlemagne. He was a strong supporter of the papacy, but insisted that he himself had authority over the Church in his domain. Under Charlemagne,the pagans of Saxony were persecuted. In 782, the Franks slaughtered 4,500 pagan prisoners who refused to convert to Christianity. In 785, the pagan leader, Widukind, was baptised. Charlemagne instituted the death penalty for refusing baptism and for other aspects of continued adherence to the pagan faith. So, if winning converts at all costs is what is good for the Church, then Charlemagne was good for the Church. By allowing this, the Church demonstrated that it no longer had any of the moral authority it might once have had.
