    How Did Charlemagne Influence Rome

    Charlemagne (748-814), also known as Charles I or Charles the Great, was an emperor during the Middle Ages who ruled much of Western Europe from 768 until his death in 814. In 771, Charlemagne took the Frankish throne that ruled modern-day France and Germany, from the fifth through the tenth century. He embarked on a mission to rule the Roman Empire, and convert his subjects of those he just conquered to Christianity. A skilled military commander, Charlemagne spent much of his reign in warfare in order to accomplish his objectives. In 800, he was crowned emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III. As emperor, he promoted the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of cultural and intellectual activity. Of the many scholars included in the Carolingian…

    Was Charlemagne's Influence Today?

    Before a king named Charlemagne came along and turned on the light switch, Europe was traped in a centuries- long dark age.Charlemagne was eventually named holy roman emperor in the 8th century. By encouraging arts, culture and education, the Frankish king drew the continent out of cultural stagnation that threatened to never end. Both a fierce warrior and in many ways the first Renaissance man, Charlemagne's accomplishments on the battlefield and in his laws led to the first notion of a pan-European identity.…

    Rodney Stark: The Rise Of Christianity

    Why did Christianity grow so rapidly in the first four centuries AD? How did a tiny unknown movement of a group of people grow to be one of the dominant forces in the Roman Empire? “God’s providence” and “miracles” has been the easiest way to explain such a puzzle. Yet, stopping at such answers deprives us from the opportunity to better understand the complexity of the early Christians growth and takes from us the lessons we can gain from the experience.…

    Carolingian Dynasty and Frankish King Charlemagne

    Maple/ McBride HONR- 1114 12-09-99 By the Cross and the Sword : Charlemagne's Impact on the West. "He who ordains the fate of kingdoms in the march of the centuries, the all-powerful Disposer of events, having destroyed one extraordinary image, that of the Romans, which had, it was true, feet of iron, or even feet of clay, then raised up, among the Franks, the golden head of a second image, equally remarkable, in the person of the illustrious Charlemagne. Notker the Stammerer, the monk of St. Gall, wrote these words in AD 844 to describe the reign of the most influential Frankish king Charlemagne ( Lectures 1). Charlemagne, son of Pepin the Short, ruled the Franks for 47 years (Koeller 1). The Carolingian Dynasty, of which Charlemagne was a member, was established in AD 751 when Pepin dethroned the last Merovingian king. The Carolingians ruled a land that "spoke several different tongues, had different cultural and historical traditions, and different institutions."(Nelson 2). The great variation found in the people of the Frankish kingdom produced for Charlemagne great obstacles. Dr. Skip Knox, Professor at Boise State University argues that the "monarchy among the Franks was not equipped to deal with this situation…" (Knox 11). Attempting to establish control in his empire, Charlemagne implemented a series of programs that would produce a new form of government and would engage his court in an intellectual renaissance. Charlemagne was forced to entirely reinvent the Merovingian system of government, and to do so he "either created new offices, or adapted old ones to new purposes…" (Knox 11). He appointed dukes and counts, and appointed in the German regions of the land margraves, an office that would remain long after the time of Charlemagne. Thus, Charlemagne created a political hierarchy in which the counts would report to the dukes, and the dukes to Charlemagne himself. Charlemagne gained the loyalty and respect of his barons by…

    Hugh Capet As The King Of France

    The crowning of Hugh Capet as the King of France in 897 A.D. resulted in the death of the Carolingian empire and the birth of the Capetian Dynasty. The “Election of Hugh Capet” by monk Richer of Reims reveals the process of electing Duke of the Franks, Hugh Capet, as the King of France following the death of the last Carolingian ruler, King Louis V. Reim’s record of Hugh Capet’s election highlights the relationship between the Catholic church and the state. This primary source also points out the success of the newly appointed king, foreshadowing the longevity of the Capetian rule.…

    Einhard's The Life Of Charlemagne

    Looking back at history, an individual usually can find an incredible amount of information about any given period in any given part of the world. Yet as varied are the history books, so are the biases which they each present. We see one example of these biases in Einhard's The Life of Charlemagne in which this adviser and close friend to the great Frankish king gives his history of Charlemagne's life. One issue that Einhard repeatedly touches on is the virtually uninterrupted series of wars that the Frankish Kingdom under 'Charles the Great' undertook. Throughout the individual accounts of these war, Einhard attempts to justify Charlemagne's military career.…

    Merovingians And Clovis

    The kingdom of the Franks proved to be the only long lasting German states in Europe at the time. Politically, there were two groups: the Merovingians and the Carolingians. Clovis, who was the first Merovingian king, was the one that founded this fine establishment. He also chose to become a Catholic Christian in 500 and this played a major role in the kingdom’s religion. By 510, Clovis had established a new Frankish kingdom stretching from the Pyrenees to west Germany and to the east, which is known as France today.…
