Charlemagne took several decades to consolidate his empire, primarily during his reign from 768 to 814. The most significant efforts to unify and expand his territory occurred between 772 and 804, as he waged wars against the Saxons and Lombards, among others. By the time of his death in 814, he had successfully established a vast and cohesive empire that laid the foundation for modern Europe. Overall, it took him about 30 to 40 years to fully consolidate his power and territory.

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.

Charlemagne, the King of the Franks and later Emperor of the Romans, fought numerous battles during his reign from 768 to 814. He is estimated to have won over 50 significant military campaigns, including the conquest of the Lombards, the Saxon Wars, and various campaigns against the Avars and Muslims. His victories helped expand and consolidate the Carolingian Empire across much of Western Europe. However, the exact number of battles is difficult to pin down due to varying definitions of what constitutes a battle and the record-keeping of the time.
