    Charlemagne was the greatest of all medieval kings in Europe, about a thousand of them. He was a head taller than his contemporaries, had a high pitched voice and a small paunch according to his biographer Eginhart. The place of his crowning in 800 is said to be a metre-wide reddish circular antique , Egyptian, stone in the entrance of today s St Peters Basilica.

      @johnhaydu2627 Not until after the Renaissance. White people started taking over during the 1700s. During the 1700s, white supremacists started changing all history to white, and made it illegal for black people to learn. Take for instance all of the Graco Romans statues were polycromy meaning they were painted. White supremacists destroyed most of the statues of black Romans and Greeks, and painted over all the rest of the statues with white paint. So why paint the statues white if they were white people? Look up Agnes Dunbar she is the niece of Robert the Bruce who was a black Scottish king. Read her bio and notice her nickname.

He created a empire and made him as a holy roman emperor the first of many rulers who ruled that. His empire survives many challenges until 1806. One of the powerful rulers. Vive la france. My fav country. Known as a father of 🌍🌎 because of he created a vast empire and united most of Europe since the roman empire. Brilliant and thnk you for this video. He is one of the best rulers ever to rule Europe,most of Italy and also the many Gallic and germanic tribes. Again thnk you for these content.He also helped the Carolingian renaissance and the revival of western church with that. Also he is a main ancestor of dynasties who ruled and rules Europe 🌍. But also his some actions led the schism between westen and eastern empires as well as the western and orthodox churches . Because he didn't think irene of athens as a legitimate ruler and he himself declared as a roman emperor and 👑 himself. best wishes aijaz from pakistan

    It's just the ceremonial title as Emperor of the (Western) Roman Empire wich already exited previously.. germanic kings were just very eager to return the title to themselves. He was a great leader and defender, but never some kind of "Father" of Europe.

      payback by the Church for what Aleric did to Rome? "24 August 410, Alaric and his forces began the sack of Rome." The Church just gave fancy titles. the Holy Roman Empire, how great thou art! One could make the case that the Roman Church did more killing than the Roman Government. The Fasces never weilded as much power.
      its all interesting indeed.
      then there was this too - September 8-11, 9 AD, when an alliance of Germanic peoples ambushed three Roman legions led by Publius Quinctilius Varus and their auxiliaries. The alliance was led by Arminius, a Germanic officer of Varus's auxilia.
      now this war is upon the west as a whole. very interesting ...
