King Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was crucial to the Middle Ages as he united much of Western Europe under his rule, laying the foundations for modern France and Germany. His reign from 768 to 814 marked the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, culture, and learning based on classical models. In 800, he was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III, symbolizing the fusion of Roman, Christian, and Germanic elements, which shaped the political landscape of medieval Europe. Charlemagne's efforts in promoting education and reforming the church also had a lasting impact on European society.
