About Charlemagne
Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was King of the Franks in the late 8th century.
His Reign
At first, Charlemagne had to co-rule the Frankish Kingdom with Carloman I (his brother). In 771, Carloman died, giving Charlemagne the full power of the throne. He united much of Europe, conquering Italy. He worked with the Pope as his protector. He led both an invasion on Muslim Spain and an attack of the Saxons. His people forced Christianization on the conquered, with penalty of death for those who don't comply. Charlemagne was named Holy Roman Emperor by the pope.
