Charlemagne united most of Western Europe, including (all or part thereof) modern day France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. He reigned as King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans - a title given him by the Pope - from 800 until his death in 814, aged approximately 72, which was a very substantial age for the period.
