Description
Widely known as the “Father of Europe”, Charlemagne was the famous king of the Franks who ruled from 768 until his death in 814. This eight-century monarch’s fame remains very much unrivaled even to this day because he was the first person to rule Western and Central Europe since the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476. His reign over the continent brought forth immense cultural, economic and political renaissance (the Carolingian Renaissance). Such was his impact and influence across Europe that Pope Leo III in 800 crowned him “Emperor of the Romans” (i.e. Holy Roman Emperor).
