Charlemagne
Charlemagne (shple-mp) (Charles the Great) or Charles I (shplem),742?-814, emperor of the West (800-814), Carolingian king of the Franks(768-814). The son of PEPIN THE SHORT, he
consolidated his rule in his own kingdom, invaded Italy in support of thepope, and in 774 was crowned king of the Lombards. He took NE Spain fromthe MOORS (778) and annexed Bavaria (788). After a
long struggle (772-804) he subjugated and Christianized the Saxons. In800 he restored LEO III to the papacy and
was crowned emperor by him on Christmas Day, thus laying the basis forthe HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE and finalizing the split between the Byzantine andRoman empires. Charlemagne ruled through a highly
efficient administrative system. He codified the law in his variousdominions, and his court at AACHEN was the center for an intellectual andartistic renaissance. The end of his reign was troubled
by raids by the NORSEMEN. His son, LOUIS I, was named co-emperor in 813and succeeded on his father's death. Charlemagne's legend soon enhancedand distorted his actual achievements, and he became
the central figure of a medieval romance cycle.
