Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was a king of the Franks and later the Emperor of the Romans, reigning from 768 to 814. He is best known for uniting much of Western Europe during the early Middle Ages and for his efforts in promoting learning and culture, often referred to as the Carolingian Renaissance. Charlemagne expanded his empire through military conquests and implemented administrative reforms, including the establishment of a system of local governance. His legacy includes the spread of Christianity and the foundation of what would later become modern European states.
