The Treaty of Verdun, AD 843. However, Charlemagne's former empire had already fallen apart long before that.

Charlemagne's kingdom was divided by the Treaty of Verdun.

by the death of his father and his brother
Charlemagne became co-ruler with his brother after his father died, then ruled alone when his brother died.

Charlemagne extended the borders of the Kingdom of the Franks to the east and south, gaining great tracts of territory. So doing, he turned the Kingdom of the Franks into a great empire, which became ancestral to both France and the Holy Roman Empire. He also promoted literacy and education, was a defender of the Church, and protected the Pope. He reformed the economy of Western Europe by introducing new standards for coinage and seeing to it that they were strictly maintained. His reign was a decisive turning point in the Early Middle Ages.

The reign of Charlemagne can be considered a turning point in medieval history, both politically and culturally, after which conditions improved greatly in many ways.

Charlemagne is considered by many people as an ideal monarch, and the greatest monarch of the Middle Ages, possibly the greatest in European history.

Actually Charlemagne was a very powerful frankish King. Charlemagne added to his land and gained more and more power. He helped bring Europe out of the Dark Ages. By the time of his death, Charlemagne ruled most of Western Europe.

Charlemagne was the first emperor in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. He united most of Western Europe, also for the first time after the fall of the Roman Empire. He is known as 'the Father of Europe'. Before his rise to power, Europe was obviously divided.

Charlemagne was born on April 2, 742.

Charlemagne's empire was divided into three kingdoms, in accordance with the will of Louis the Pious, Charlemagne's successor. This was formalized and clarified by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. The nominal title of emperor lasted for a while, but had little meaning. In the end, the kings stopped acknowledging attachment to the empire, and the last person claiming the throne of the Carolingian Empire, Berengar I, died in 924.

Two of the three kingdoms survived. One became the kingdom of France. In another, Otto I resurrected the title of emperor and so the Holy Roman Empire came into being, which was, in turn, ancestral to Germany.

Armenia was the first Christian Country since the year 301. Armenians adopted The Orthodox Armenian Apostolic Church which was the first in the world.

Later came the Catholics when Ancient Rome adopted Christianity in the year 380.

Some 320 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, the Carolingian Empire (800-888) was created. This was the only empire which was created in Europe during this period.

The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by the Germanic invasions which led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not use this term. They called their empire Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).

The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.

There were emperors in the western part of the Roman empire from 27 BC to 476 AD and emperors in the eastern part of the Roman empire until 1,453 . Up to the fall of the western part of the Roman empire there were 175 emperors. After that there were 89 more emperor. This gives a total of 264 emperors.

Therefore, there was a large number of emperors in charge of the Roman army. The number of generals was even higher.

In his role as a zealous defender of Christianity, Charlemagne gave money and land to the Christian church and protected the popes. As a way to acknowledge Charlemagne's power and reinforce his relationship with the church, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne emperor of the Romans on December 25, 800, at St.

The surnames of the Holy Roman Emperors depended on the dynasty they belonged to. They were the Liudolfings (Ottonian dynasty 919-1024), the Salian dynasty (1024-1125), the Hohenstaufen dynasty, 1138-1254), the Luxembourg dynasty (1308-1437) and the Hapsburg dynasty (1440-18905).

The origin of the Holy Roman Empire was the Carolingian Empire (800-888), which covered most of continental Western Europe. This empire ended with the extinction of the Carolingian dynasty due to continuous infighting over successions. France and Italy broke away.

There was a period where the king was not really in charge of Germany due to infighting over the succession and conflict between the king and the German princes. Henry the Fowler (ruled 919-36) managed to restore royal control and to repel attacks by the Magyars (Hungarians). His son and successor, Otto the Great (reigned 936-73), won a brief civil war and a rebellion backed by the king of France, thus consolidating royal power. He also inflicted the final defeat on the pagan Magyars, ending their invasions. The latter gave him the reputation of saviour of Christendom and further strengthened his power.

Otto also invaded Italy and was crowned king of Italy in 951. As his position in Italy was weak, Otto allowed the deposed king of Italy, Berengar II to retain his title as King of Italy in exchange for a hefty tribute, but kept north-eastern Italy as the March of Verona.

Berengar II rebelled and attacked the March of Verona in 958 and the Papal States in central Italy, which belonged to the Pope, in 960. The pope asked Otto for help and agreed to crown him emperor. Otto undertook a second expedition in Italy in 961. Berengar II avoided battle and withdrew his troops. Otto reached Rome January 962 and was crowned emperor by Pope John XII three days later. The kingdom of Germany and the kingdom Italy were joined to form the Holy Roman Empire.

Charlemagne ruled from 768 AD to 814 AD. During his own reign he was to see three different popes rule over Christendom. These were:

* Stephen IV (767-772 AD) * Adrian I (772-795 AD) * St. Leo III (795-816 AD)

There were many weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation. As the country continued to drift, with no real national leadership, the "Founding Fathers" realized a new form of government was needed to unite the new nation. The Articles gave congress no power to levy or collect taxes. Each state had to collect taxes from its citizens and turn that money over to the government under the Articles. Congress could do little if the states did not turn over taxes to the treasury. Congress had no power to regulate trade among the states or with foreign nations. This was leading to economic collapse of the national economy. A major weakness was the inability of Congress to force anyone to obey the laws it passed. The Articles lacked an executive and judicial branch independent from the legislature. The framers of the Constitution of the United States fixed these, and other weaknesses. A federal government was created with three separate branches, each having independent powers while sharing powers with the other two branches and with the state governments. MrV
