Charlemagne, born in 747, was the King of the Franks and later became the Holy Roman Emperor. His reign was marked by continuous warfare, religious influence, and cultural development. He expanded his empire through military conquests, including the Saxons, Lombards, and regions in Spain. Charlemagne was instrumental in spreading Christianity and supporting the papacy. His reign saw the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, literature, and education. After his death in 814, his empire was divided among his sons, laying the foundation for modern France and the Holy Roman Empire.
