Charlemagne was crowned as the first Holy Roman Emperorby Pope Leo in the year A.D. 800, giving birth to the Holy Roman Empire, and what later would become Europe.

Charlemagne (Latin for Charles the Great) inherited his father, Pepin's kingdom of the Franks (which would come to be known as France), along with his older brother, Carloman. Carloman died leaving Charles as so King in A.D. 771. Charles waged around sixty military campaigns to fend off enemies of his kingdom, and in the process extended his kingdom all the way to what is now Hungary.

He organized a very efficient government and promoted education and the Church. Charles attended daily Mass and in caring for the Church, promoted clerical morals and education of the clergy. He especially promoted learning in the monasteries and personally oversaw this.

Under Charles the Great, known to future generations as Charlemagne, he had personally revived learning in the old Roman empire - Carolingian Minuscle, a new way of writing, forming letters and separating words was a marvel of clarity and bears his name to this day.

His enlightened reign gave birth to the Holy Roman Empire, which covered all of the old Roman empire (save Spain) and the naming of which came from the Pope himself: Pope Leo crowned Charlemagne emperor on Christmas Day in St. Peter's in the year 800. Charlemagne fused Catholic, Roman, and Germanic creativity in his new empire which would eventually become Europe. The Holy Roman Emperor gave birth to Western Civilization which would emerge in the second millennium as a glorious Europe which would affect the whole world.
