What are the contribution of king Charlemagne in Christianity?
In a series of wars, Charlemagne secured a vast territory from the Pyrenees to the Danube and enforced Christianity on Saxons, Lombards, Croats and even the Moors in Spain, both by force of arms and by legislation. In spite of his zealous Christianising, Charlemagne had two wives and several concubines.
The year 782 marked one of the worst horrors of Charlemagne's reign, the reputed beheading of forty-five hundred Saxons who resisted the campaign of forced conversion to Christianity. Kathleen Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, said, "Charlemagne converted whole tribes by the sword."
What were the things that charemagne accomplished with in his growing empire?
Charlemagne (c.742-814), also known as Karl and Charles the Great, was a medieval emperor who ruled much of Western Europe from 768 to 814. In 771, Charlemagne became king of the Franks, a Germanic tribe in present-day Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and western Germany. He embarked on a mission to unite all Germanic peoples into one kingdom, and convert his subjects to Christianity. A skilled military strategist, he spent much of his reign engaged in warfare in order to accomplish his goals. In 800, Pope Leo III (750-816) crowned Charlemagne emperor of the Romans. In this role, he encouraged the Carolingian Renaissance, a cultural and intellectual revival in Europe. When he died in 814, Charlemagne's empire encompassed much of Western Europe, and he had also ensured the survival of Christianity in the West. Today, Charlemagne is referred to by some as the father of Europe.
What is the connection between Pepin the short Charlemagne and the Roman Church?
Pepin the Short was educated by the monks of St. Denis. When he became the effective ruler of the Franks he forced king Childeric III to retire to a monastery and proclaimed himself king with the help of Pope Zachary. It was this pope who dethroned Childeric. He also had him tonsured (this was the shaving off of hair as a sing of religious devotion. Pepin attacked the Lombards in Italy to defend the next pope, Stephen II because they were threatening to take Rome. He also gave the cities he conquered in central Italy to the pope in what has been called the Donation of Pepin.
In 772 the Lombards took some the cities Pepin gave to the papacy and marched on Rome. Pope Adrian I demanded that these cities be returned to the papacy and asked Charlemagne for help. Charlemagne attacked the Lomdards in Italy and forced them to leave the papal territories and besieged their capital, Pavia. He confirmed the donation of his father, Pein, and the Pope gave him the title of patrician. In 799 the people of Rome rioted against Pope Leo III, who fled to Charlemagne and asked him to restore him. Charlemagne went to Rome and the pope crowned him Imperator Romanorum (Emperor of the Romans). The pope did so assert Rome's independence from the Byzantine emperors.

What important services did scholars in Aachen perform?
Scholars in Aachen, particularly during the Carolingian Renaissance under Charlemagne, played a crucial role in the preservation and promotion of classical knowledge. They engaged in copying and studying ancient texts, which helped to safeguard literary and philosophical works from antiquity. Additionally, they contributed to the development of educational reforms, establishing schools and promoting literacy among the clergy and nobility. This intellectual revival laid the groundwork for future advancements in European education and culture.
A brief definition of a Roman Emperor can be taken from the link below.
"The Roman Emperor was the ruler of the Roman State during the imperial period (from about 27 BC onwards). The Romans had no single term for the office: Latin titles such as imperator (from which English Emperor derives), Augustus, Caesar and princeps were all associated with it. In practice, the Emperor was supreme ruler of Rome and supreme commander of the Roman legions."
I believe they were sort of special field agents of the Feudal French Army. The name isderived from the latin and means (messengers of the lord) Lord here meaning a noble personage and not God. They were sort of between diplomats and spies in a moremodernusage I hope this proves useful- sort of a medieval CIA!
Answer.
A missus dominicus (plural missi dominici), Latin for "Envoy of the Lord [ruler]', also known as Sendgraf in German, Zendgraaf in Dutch, both meaning 'sent Graf', was an official commissioned by the Frankish king or emperor to supervise the administration, mainly justice, in a part of his dominions, not unlike the original Roman Corrector but on a regular basis, so rather preventively.
Charlemagne made them a regular part of his administration, and a capitulary issued about 802 gives a detailed account of their duties. They were to execute justice, to enforce respect for the royal rights, to control the administration of the counts (then still royal officials), to receive the oath of allegiance, and to supervise the conduct and work of the clergy. They were to call together the officials of the district and explain to them their duties, and to remind the people of their civil and religious obligations. In short they were the direct representatives of the German king or Holy Roman Emperor. The inhabitants of the district they administered had to provide for their subsistence, and at times they led the host to battle.

How did cartography influence European Worldview?
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
