The Eastern Orthodox Church viewed Charlemagne less favourably due to his support of the filioque and the Pope's having preferred him as emperor over the Byzantine Empire's first female monarch, Irene of Athens. His rule spurred the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of energetic cultural and intellectual activity within the Western Church. Peter's Basilica in Rome.Ĭharlemagne has been called the "Father of Europe" (Pater Europae), as he united most of Western Europe for the first time since the classical era of the Roman Empire and united parts of Europe that had never been under Frankish or Roman rule. He reached the height of his power in 800 when he was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day at Old St. He also campaigned against the Saxons to his east, Christianizing them (upon penalty of death) and leading to events such as the Massacre of Verden. As sole ruler, he continued his father's policy towards protection of the papacy and became its sole defender, removing the Lombards from power in northern Italy and leading an incursion into Muslim Spain. He became king of the Franks in 768 following his father's death, and was initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I until the latter's death in 771. He was born before their canonical marriage. He was later canonized by Antipope Paschal III- later treated as invalid-and he is now regarded as beatified (which is a step on the path to sainthood) by the mainstream Catholic Church.Ĭharlemagne was the eldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon. The expanded Frankish state that Charlemagne founded was known as the Carolingian Empire. Charlemagne succeeded in uniting the majority of western and central Europe and was the first recognized emperor to rule from western Europe since the fall of the Western Roman Empire around three centuries earlier.
