the kingdom of the Franks. He was the son of King Pepin the Short. Being in the
royal family, Charlemagne inherited the land that is fancy fashionable France
Charlemagne thought he was as pure as a monastic monk. As a royal reigning
raiding, king, he conquered many lands and by 800 AD, ha had the largest empire
Europe had seen since the Roman Empire. It covered almost all of vast Western
Europe. After conquering the lands, he would force the captives to be baptized.

free opportunity to have an education.” Because Charlemagne, who was one of a
kind, was so special, he is often referred to as the father of Europe.
