Charlemagne

Charlemagne (Charles the Great) defeated most of the remaining Germanic tribes in the area to create a Christian empire that included all of modern Europe. He was named Emperor of Rome by the Pope in 800, and the kingdom he ruled came to be known as the Holy Roman Empire. The kingdom under his rule was organized around nobles and independent estates called manors, a forerunner of feudalism. He is known as the father of modern Europe, and brought about the Carolingian Renaissance, a return of art and learning to Europe.

Well for one thing, when Charlemagne conquered the anglo saxons, he told them to convert to christianity, and killed everyone who would'nt. In one day alone, Charlemagne killed 4000 people and for weeks after, the meditterenean sea ran red.

Hope that helps.

he expanded the empire by lowering taxes

He wanted everybody to learn, and go to school and receive education, even though he wasn't educated. In other words he wanted people to learn to read and write even though he couldn't.

His given name was Charles in French, Karl in German, or Carolus in Latin, with some variation in spelling. He was given a title equivalent to "the Great." So in German he is called Karl der Grosse, and in Latin he is Carolus Magnus. Charlemagne is the French name, and it is also used by the English.

He is called Great because of the various things he did. He was crowned king of a powerful kingdom, but he increased the size enormously, making it the largest country of Europe after the Roman Empire. He was crowned Emperor of what we now call the Carolingian Empire, in 800, by Pope Leo III, and this empire was ancestral to both the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire. He converted large numbers of people to Christianity. He pushed the boundaries of Christian countries farther to the East, against pagans, and the South, against Muslims. He protected the popes and the Church. He founded schools and encouraged education, making a policy that all free people of his lands have access to education, and seeing to it that both men and women around him learned to read and write. He spoke several languages, including Latin, Arabic, and at least some others. His time was called the Carolingian Renaissance, though it was named for his grandfather, Charles Martel, who was regarded as the ancestor of the Carolingian Dynasty.

There are different definitions of barbarian. One of these is a person who is regarded as culturally inferior; according to this definition, a Roman or Greek might have considered Charlemagne a barbarian. Another definition is a fierce or cruel person; by that definition, different people would give different answers, depending on how they interpret his actions. Another definition is an uncultured person; by that definition, Charlemagne was not a barbarian at all, as he was a great patron of arts and education.

No, Charlemagne founded the Carolingian Empire.

most of the time at Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen in German)

Charlemagne increased the size of the Frankish kingdom to include most of the area of present France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, and parts of Austria, Italy, and Spain. It was the largest country in Western Europe since the Roman Empire, and much larger than any there today. On December 25, 800, Pope Leo III crowned him Emperor of the Romans, in an effort to reestablish the West Roman Empire. His country did not survive him for long, however, as it was divided among his grandsons. Nevertheless, the countries they began included France and the Holy Roman Empire.

Charlemagne was not crowned emperor of the Romans. He was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor, which had nothing to do with ancient Rome. The so-called Holy Roman Empire was a Germanic kingdom of the Middle Ages.

Historically, we call people emperors of the Roman Empire if the Roman Senate endorsed them as such, or if an emperor approved by the Senate did so, making them co-emperors, and they subsequently ruled on their own. Anyone else who claimed independently to be the emperor is considered a claimant or usurper. The last known act of the Senate of the West Roman Empire took place in the year 603 AD, 197 years before Charlemagne was crowned emperor.

He might be considered a legitimate Roman Emperor, if he had been accepted by Empress Irene of the Byzantine Empire, which was what remained of the Roman Empire at the time.

From a certain point of view, all this is nonsense. If the Holy Roman Empire were still operating, our position on whether Charlemagne was legally Emperor of the Romans would almost certainly be different.
