Charlemagne

Christmas Day in the year 800.

Alcuin oversaw Charlemagne's palace school and became Abbot of Tours.

The Christian Church has been organized exactly the same way since it was first established by Our Blessed Lord in the first century. The world is divided into dioceses which are each ruled by a Bishop, having the full powers of the priesthood of Christ. All of the Bishops in the world are under the Holy Father, the Pope in Rome, who is the successor to St. Peter and serves both as Bishop of Rome, and as St. Peter's successor, and Vicar of Christ.

Rather superficial. Officially the religion was Roman Catholicism, but the rulers largely did what they wanted.

VITAMIN E, at least 400 IU's a day. Next-garlic, if the cat will take it; mix a tiny bit of minced garlic in its wet food. Also, any type of fish liver oil, which they'll usually eat anyway.

He hoped to acknowledge Charlemagne as ruler of Europe.

Charlemagne was born on April 2, 742.

B. He knew several languages, including Latin and Greek.

Europe was often put at the middle of the map and at the top, now people think this was because we put things that are important at the top of lists

It gave everybody who had access to maps a shared way of visualizing the planet (but then this was not a uniquely European thing, nor was the one before it)

They put Jerusalem at the center of the T-O maps but that's more a result of the European Worldview that placed salvation in the center of life but then all these things are self-reeënforcing loops

As humans, when we read of 4500 strong Saxon leaders being killed if they did not convert to Christianity, it tends to make us do so in order to survive as Charlemagne was prominently in charge of the lands. It is currently used by ISIS/ISIL terrorist in their new conquered lands in Iraq and Syria - for the time being.

Charlemagne was crown as Roman Emperor, not as Holy Roman Emperor. The title of Holy Roman Emperor emerged centuries later.

Charlemagne was given the title of Roman Emperor to symbolise the independence of the papacy from the Byzantine emperor and from Orthodox Christianity, the religion of the Byzantines. The title of this emperor was actually Roman Emperor. Byzantine and Byzantine Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. They use it to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. The term Byzantine was not known at that time. The empire was called Roman Empire and the emperor was called Roman emperor.

The coronation of Charlemagne was presented as the creation of another Roman Empire in the west, one which was independent from the one in the east. The Byzantines had retaken Italy after the Visigoths had taken it over. They lost some of their territories to an invasion by the Lombards in northern Italy, but they retained a territory in central Italy, the Exarchate of Ravenna. Rome had been under this exarchate an the emperor had been interfering with affairs in Rome and with papal affairs. The alliance between the pope and Charlemagne gave power to Catholic Christendom and independence to the papacy

He wanted to restore order to Europe, and to eliminate the Franks.

Lothair

HE unified all countries together, created education for all classes and stabilised the feudal system. By doing this he improved the order of Europe. He also throughout his rule created standard weights, measurements and currency. As well as this he made an effort himself to read and write and encourage arts and learning. He also created national protection.

he wanted to strengthen & bring order to his kingdom

Charlemagne was not prepared for his coronation and may not have wanted to be crowned by the Pope. If the Pope had the power to crown Charlemagne king, the Pope might also have the right to remove the crown.

Charlemagne’s sons fought for power and weakened the kingdom

Limited the authority of nobles
