Charlemagne and Pope Gregory VII were not contemporaries, as Charlemagne lived from 742 to 814, while Pope Gregory VII reigned from 1073 to 1085. However, both figures played significant roles in the relationship between the Church and the state during their respective eras. Charlemagne was instrumental in the promotion of Christianity in Europe and strengthened the alliance between the Frankish kingdom and the papacy, particularly through his coronation as Emperor by Pope Leo III. In contrast, Gregory VII is known for his efforts to reform the Church and assert papal authority over secular leaders, thereby continuing the legacy of papal influence that was established during Charlemagne's time.
