Charles the Great (Charlemagne) (742 – 814). Son

III divided his kingdom between his sons Charles and Carloman, and upon
the latter’s death in 771 Charles became sole King of the Franks. In 772
he conducted a war against the Saxons who threatened the Frankish frontier,
and advanced as fas as the Weser, when he was recalled to the aid of Pope
Adrian I who was in conflict with the Lombard King. Charles had married
a daughter of this monarch but repudiated her because she bore no offspring,
afterwards uniting himself with Hildegarde, an Alemannian princess. Charles
crossed the Alps with two armies and conquered the Lombard kingdom, 774,
which he added to his possessions. During the years following, he was constantly
at war. He won a victory over the Saxons who acknowledged him as their
king; was called to Spain, 778, as intermediary between Moors and Arabs,
where he secured considerable territory, but lost Roalnd and Oliver and
other knights in the famous fight at the Pass of Roncesvalles. On Christmas
day, 800, Charles was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III. The remaining years
of this life were chiefly devoted to the consolidation of this empire,
and an attempt to revive Roman civilization, encouraging Alcuin in establishing
schools, and commencing codification of the laws in the famous Capitularies.
He was buried at this capital, Aachen. Soon after his death the empire
was dismembered. |
