to preserve learning
He established many schools and monasteries across Europe. He also brought the rebirth of learning and the arts.
Charlemagne united most of Western and Central Europe.
Medicine during the medieval times was scarce. But when Charlemagne became Emperor his penance to the Catholic Church took the form of monasteries. These monasteries were run by the clergy who also served as "healers". The monasteries spread across Europe following a simple design that included space for sick people seeking health.
When Charlemagne took power, Europe was largely unorganized and fragmented, with various tribes and kingdoms vying for control. While there were pockets of education and scholarly activity, particularly in monasteries, the overall level of literacy and education was low. Charlemagne sought to unify and strengthen his empire, promoting a degree of organization and cultural revival, but the continent was far from being a cohesive or unified entity at that time.

Michelangelo!It was Charlemagne. He did not actually assemble a library. He commissioned monks and abbots to copy Roman manuscripts. These copies were preserved in monasteries and abbeys around Europe. They were forgotten for centuries. With the rebirth in interest in the Romans in the run up to and during the Renaissance Italian scholars scoured the monasteries and abbeys around Europe in search of these manuscripts. Without Charlemagne, we would have lost most of what we know about the Romans.
Ancient Roman writings were not copied by writers in Rome. They were transcribed by monks in monasteries and abbeys dotted around Europe from the 800s and 820s. Charlemagne ordered them to do these transcriptions.

Charlemagne changed Europe by creating order. He did that by joining different countries together.
