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.
