Historians often regard Charlemagne as the greatest military leader of the Middle Ages due to his extensive conquests and the establishment of a vast empire that united much of Western Europe. His strategic military campaigns, particularly against the Saxons and the Lombards, expanded his realm and spread Christianity. Additionally, Charlemagne's ability to effectively organize and lead diverse troops, along with his innovative use of cavalry, showcased his military prowess. His legacy as a unifying figure laid the groundwork for the future of European politics and culture.

Charlemagne, I believe.
Yes he wrote the book the art of war and today thousands of years later people study his book and he beat 330,000 men with 33,000 and he saved a whole empire from doom without unsheathing his sword. In my opinion he was the greatest military leader of all time. He understood the 'Art of War', he outsmarted his opponent's. To me Sun Tzu is like a role model, I am who I am because of him, in strategy games I have become a great leader thanks to him. Fact: Famous generals read his book, including Napoleon!
