most of this is all lies

Clovis' principle contribution was marrying Clotilde who was Catholic and as a result forcing all his subjects to become Roman Catholic--they were Arians before that. In fact the vast majority of Christians were Arians until this time, but this conversion threw the majority over to Rome.

Wikipedia says: "Clovis was converted to Catholicism;[6] at the instigation of his wife, Clotilde, a Burgundian Gothic princess who was a Catholic in spite of the Arianism which surrounded her at court. The followers of Catholicism believe that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three persons in one God, as opposed to the Arian Christianity, whose followers believed that God and Jesus were two completely separate beings and the Holy Spirit was not entirely separate from God but was the Power of God, a belief system common among the Goths who ruled most of Gaul at the time."

Charlemagne's primary contribution to Christianity was to force the Saxons at sword-point to become Christians.

Charlemagne implemented a series of reforms and laws aimed at strengthening his rule and unifying his empire. These included the promotion of education through the establishment of palace schools, the standardization of weights and measures, the adoption of a standardized currency, and the codification of laws through the Capitularies. He also promoted Christianization and missionary work in the territories under his control.

I know that he defeated the Saxons but that's it sorry very sorry.

Charlemagne conquered what is now France and Germany.

Yes Pepin the short was his father

Charlemagne and his brother Carloman initially had a turbulent relationship, but eventually reconciled and worked together to co-rule the Frankish Kingdom after their father's death. Their partnership ended with Carloman's untimely death in 771, which paved the way for Charlemagne to become the sole ruler.

Under the age of Charlemagne, Roman culture was reinterpreted, allowing Charlemagne to revive the idea of the Roman Empire.....hope this helps!

Charlemagne briefly reunified much of Western Europe through a series of military conquests, strategic alliances, and the revival of learning and culture known as the Carolingian Renaissance. He was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III in 800 AD, which symbolized his authority over a vast territory that included modern-day France, Germany, and parts of Italy. After his death in 814, his empire fragmented due to internal divisions and external pressures, leading to the Treaty of Verdun in 843, which split the empire among his grandsons and marked the beginning of the decline of centralized Carolingian power.

Between 771 and 814, Charlemagne conquered several key regions, including the Lombards in Italy, where he established control over northern Italy. He also expanded his rule over the Saxons in present-day Germany after a series of campaigns. Additionally, he conquered the Avars in Central Europe and made significant territorial gains in the Spanish March, a buffer zone against Muslim territories. These conquests helped to lay the foundations for the Carolingian Empire.

No one conquered him. He died in 814 from sickness. According to documents of the time he was sick for 4 years and ignored his doctors instructions. His son took over after his death.

His Imperial capital city was Aachen, although no permanent capital city existed. Aachen was his favourite place, where he built a Palace and a Cathedral

Charlemagne's reign laid the foundation for the development of modern Europe by promoting the idea of a unified Christian empire, which influenced the political landscape for centuries. His establishment of the Carolingian Renaissance revived learning and culture, leading to advancements in education and the preservation of classical texts. Additionally, his division of the empire among his heirs set the stage for the rise of feudalism and the eventual fragmentation of political power in Europe. Overall, Charlemagne's legacy shaped the cultural, political, and social structures that would define Europe in the Middle Ages and beyond.

Your textbook may have other thoughts on the matter, but generally speaking Charlemagne is credited with three major achievements:

1. He reunited most of continental Western Europe under his rule and was created the first "Emperor of the Romans" since the fall of the Roman Empire in the 6th century

2. He initiated the "Carolingian Renaissance", ordering the monks in his Empire to systematically collect and copy the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Practically all the ancient Greek and Roman scriptures that have survived did so because of this order and because of the copies that were then made

3. He (forcibly) converted the Saxons and many other peoples east of the river Rhine to Christianity.

Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was significant for uniting much of Western Europe during the early Middle Ages and for fostering the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, culture, and learning based on classical models. His establishment of the Carolingian Empire laid the groundwork for modern European nations and the concept of a united Christendom. While his empire fragmented shortly after his death in 814, his legacy endured through the promotion of education, governance, and the spread of Christianity, influencing European culture and politics for centuries.

Charlemagne emphasized education as a cornerstone of his reign and sought to improve learning across his empire. He established the Palace School at Aachen, where scholars like Alcuin of York were invited to teach various subjects, including grammar, rhetoric, and theology. Charlemagne also encouraged the creation of monastic schools throughout his territories, promoting literacy and the study of religious texts. His efforts laid the groundwork for the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of learning and culture in medieval Europe.

to preserve learning

He spread Christianity all across Europe building a great empire now known as France and The Holy Roman Empire

The Verdun Treaty partitioned the Carolingian Empire into three kingdoms -one for each of Lous 1(Pious) surviving sons - so ending the 3 year Carolingian Civil War and the start of the dissolution of Charlemagne's Empire. The Treaty being signed at Verdun-sur-Meuse August 843 foreshadowed the formation of modern Europe.

Charlemagne lived in the late 8th century and early 9th century.

They failed to address basic problems of the West such as;the decay of economic infrastructure (roads, bridges).
