Charlemagne, often referred to as the "Father of Europe," was considered a light in the Dark Ages due to his efforts to unify much of Western Europe under a revived Roman Empire and his promotion of education and culture. He established the Carolingian Renaissance, which encouraged the preservation of classical knowledge, literacy, and the arts. His reign also saw the strengthening of Christianity, as he worked closely with the Church to spread its influence. Charlemagne's leadership and reforms laid the groundwork for the future development of European states and culture.

When charlemagne was born, there were barley any countries, instead there were little fiefdoms. Western europe before his rule wasn't unified. But my guess is that he comes from a small fiefdom in modern france

Charlemagne was King of the Franks and drastically increased the size of their kingdom. He expanded into German and down into Italy (helping the Pope deal with the Lombards). He is also known for the many monasteries he founded throughout his territory and his funding of literacy programs taught by monks*. He is also known to have been extremely ruthless to those who did not convert to Christianity. He massacred an entire Germanic tribe who refused.

*Literacy was very important to him because A. he never learned to read in his life time and B. it would help to spread the word of God.

Charlemagne restored the Roman Empire and Otto the Great restored the German Empire

Charlemagne's reign was a major turning point of the Middle Ages, with an importance similar to that of the crusades or the Black Death. He was responsible for promoting education and the arts, establishing a unified and strong currency in Western Europe, and building the empire that was ancestral to both the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire. His empire reestablished order after three centuries that were pretty chaotic, and his work has remained as a strong influence.

The Caroling.

The Carolingian Empire divided because the tradition at that time was that a kingdom was divided among the sons of the king. The imperial title could be divided or not, so there could be co-emperors, but there were a number of kingdoms within the empire. These kingdoms went to war with one another for various reasons, and after a lot of changes, the empire was divided with the largest pieces being the Kingdom of the Franks and the Holy Roman Empire. Both of these changed their methods of monarchic succession.

Charlemagne brought scholars to his court and insisted the various members of the royalty and nobility learned to read and write. All his sons and daughters were educated. He also founded schools, at least one or two of which are still operating today. His policy was aimed at having all free people literate.

Charlemagne was an energetic and thoughtful man. He had an interest in rebuilding civilization, as well as improving education and living situations. It was good to crown Charlemagne because he wanted to improve the life of everyone in the empire.

Under Frankish law, a kingdom did not pass to a single heir, but was distributed among the heirs. Under the Carolingian Empire, this was modified only to the point of having the empire go to a single heir, but there were numerous kingdoms controlled by different kings. The various kings quarrelled, and the overall emperor was only able to get support from his own kingdom, not from the empire as a whole, so the empire passed to a powerless state. Later, it was revived, but France remained separate from it; in this revived form, it was called the Holy Roman Empire.

The main cause of disintegration of the Carolingian empire was the tradition of dividing the estate of a king among the sons more or less equally. Charlemagne had only one son who could succeed him, Louis the Pious, but Louis had three sons among whom to divide his empire. Each of these was technically the king of a country within the empire, but they fought among themselves, and the empire was divided as a result. In addition to the kingdoms of the three heirs of Louis the Pious, there were other kingdoms divided from the empire, by other claimants, some of whom took advantage of the situation to make themselves monarchs.

After the division of the empire, it became the law of France to have a single heir to the kingdom, and it became the law of the Holy Roman Empire that the emperor had to be elected by a college of electors.

Charlemagne was King of the Franks from 768-814. His father was Pepin the Short, his mother was Bertrada of Laon. He grew the Frankish empire until it included most of Western and Central Europe. He is thought of as the "father of Europe" because he founded the French and German monarchies. He died on January 28th, 814.
