What accounted to the fall of Charlemagne?
Charlemagne ruled the Carolingian Empire. He was also the king of multiple countries; he was King of the Franks and separately King of the Lombards. The land was divided among the king's sons in those days, but Charlemagne only had one son who survived him, so the empire and kingdoms remained intact. When Charlemagne's son died, one of his grandsons inherited the empire, and both he and the other grandsons inherited separate kingdoms. They had wars with each other, and the authority of the empire gradually declined. For a number of decades, there was no emperor at all. The imperial title was restored by Emperor Otto I in 962. His empire, however, did not include the Kingdom of the Franks, or France, as it is now called, and is not called the Carolingian Empire, but the Holy Roman Empire instead. The Holy Roman Empire was destroyed by Napoleon about 850 years later. Many people regard the Holy Roman Empire as the same thing as the Carolingian Empire, and they would say Charlemagne's empire was destroyed by Napoleon. Most historians, however, take the position that Charlemagne's empire fell apart in the wars among his grandsons.
