French people are mostly Celts that were conquered by the Romans, and subsequently took up large parts of Roman culture, including the Latin language (which gradually evolved into French). Franks were a Germanic tribe, their modern descendents are the Dutch, Flemish and Western Germans.

Eginhart , Einhart wrote that Carolus Magnus was a head taller than others around him, had a high pitched voice, a small paunch, many concubines and could not read or write. At the entrance of Saint Peters Basilica is a flat floor stone upon which he was crowned. Its diametre is about one metre and came to ancient Rome from Egypt. He was the greatest of all European medieval kings, about a thousand of them. Saint John Paul II named him Pater Europae.

A common trait of great leaders throughout history is that they are part hero, and part monster. Charlemagne demonstrated these as both a savage warrior and a benevolent King spreading renewal of education, literacy, and reason throughout a united European empire.

When Charlemagne was young, he was known as "Kid".

I love docs w actors 😊

When you consider the sheer size of the kingdom which Charlemagne is ruling over and the millions of subjects governed, can we really believe that a brief exchange with his mother would convert him from a 'I want more' conquering warlord, into a non-violent Christian whose list of titles now includes Godfather? (Incidentally, does this claim, from a hierarchical perspective, elevate him OVER God?) Surely the complexities of ruling a diverse multinational empire means events cannot have occurred in the 'overly simple' explanation offered by historians?

Blessed Jerome has written about the ancient kings of the Franks, whose story was first told by the poet Virgil: their first king was Priam and, after Troy was captured by trickery, they departed. Afterwards they had as king Friga, then they split into two parts, the first going into Macedonia, the second group, which left Asia with Friga were called the Frigii, settled on the banks of the Danube and the Ocean Sea. Again splitting into, two groups, half of them entered Europe with their king Francio. After crossing Europe with their wives and children they occupied the banks of the Rhine and not far from the Rhine began to build the city of "Troy" (Colonia Traiana-Xanten). - Fredegar, Chronicle of Fredegar (7th c. CE)[14]

It was Holy, Roman and an Empire at one point and I'm sad you even mention this quote by Voltaire from the late stages of it's existing. It existed nearly 1000 years, only few empires could beat this. That's one of the dumbest quotes. The HRE held Rome at the beginning (that's why the name Roman) and they saw themselves as the successor of the Romans, the king/ emporer got crowned by the pope and was the defender of christianity (that's why Holy, but also only really in the beginning stages) and it was definitly and empire (even up till it's end, but you could say the kings and dukes just did their own stuff. Yes sometimes they followed the orders of the emporer, but sometimes they didn't, especially after the reformation and the thirty years war, the power of the emporer was minimal (atleast as an emporer, the emporer had full authority about the place he ruled as king or duke)). But all emporers had power struggle, just look at Great Britain or the Mongols.

Middle Age is known for its high level education of the soul : Latin, Geometry, Oratory and Philosophy. Quite complete and profound. The foundation of the best education to build the soul and intellect of each individual. Today's education has become a place of left-wing militancy. Monarchy is the closest thing to the divine order that God willed for the salvation of man.

@@jordanpeters3746 The Thirty Years' War was a series of wars in Central Europe between 1618 and 1648 lasting for thirty years. The major causes of the Thirty Years' War were the fragmentation of the Holy Roman Empire, the lack of real power held by the Holy Roman Emperor, and the stark religious divide between Protestants and Catholics. The war was sparked by a revolt by Protestant nobles against the Catholic Hapsburg king, Ferdinand. It remains one of the longest and most brutal wars in human history, with more than 8 million casualties resulting from military battles as well as from the famine and disease caused by the conflict. The Peace of Westphalia, concluded in 1648 in Münster (Germany), ended the Thirty Years' War, which started with an anti-Habsburg revolt in Bohemia in 1618 but became an entanglement of different conflicts concerning the constitution of the Holy Roman Empire, religion, and the state system of Europe. As a result of the Treaty of Westphalia, the Netherlands gained independence from Spain, Sweden gained control of the Baltic and France was acknowledged as the preeminent Western power. The power of the Holy Roman Emperor was broken and the German states were again able to determine the religion of their lands.
