My policies

What were the different policies he established?

I, Charlemagne was an ambassadorial ruler  and very wisely governed my lands, bringing internal tranquility and prosperity. As the franks decided, monarchy was upon family legacy  and governmental issues were discussed between lord and follower. There wasn't lacking of  kindness between commoners as the community remained religious. The governmental education of clergy and protection of the church was fundamental. Furthermore, italian- Irish and English customs was very important to maintain scholars for education. Likewise, I also expanded schools, athletics, culture and scholarship and i established weights and measures which helped trade in my kingdom. Most importantly, the encouragement of the Carolingian renaissance while ruling the romans,inspiring the Carolingian miniscule, a form of writing that soon became a standard influence of modern Europe printed alphabets. Additionally, I implemented representatives in each region i conquered and each year we gathered in a general assembly .


Note: The French emperor accomplished most of his goals such as spreading Christianity and unity with military campaigns and warfare. Furthermore, he encouraged the Carolingian Renaissance in Europe while ruling the romans. He also got a lot of help from the church, since he protected the popes and gave money and land to them and was crowned by pope leo third in peter's basilica in Rome as a reward for defeating a rebellion against him, in which they were going to insensitively blind him and cut out his tongue, and by doing so it legitimized his rule on all his Italian terrains. One of his campaigns was a small crusade to protect northern Spain from Muslims in 778 and attempts to take Saragossa,  but he failed and retreated. This is known according to the chanson de Roland  to be the most heroic attempt and moment of this valiant figure.
