Notes:
Charles the Great ruled so many lands that he was called different titles by his many languaged peoples. Carolus Magnus, Karl der Grosse, Charlemagne, Charles the Great. He ruled during the dark ages, a bright star that scholars were inspired by for centuries. Charles inherited only part of his kingdom from his father, less than half of France and the low countries. Before he died he had conquered half of Europe, Italy, Germany and Spain. He held the title, King of France, from 768 till his death in 814. He held the title King of the Lombards (Italy) from 774 to 800. He gained the title of King of Germany in 785. He was the Frankish Emporer from 800-814. In a Christmas Day ceremony in Rome in the year 800, he was crowned Roman Emperor of the West by Pope Leo III.
A very religious man, he was the first to be called the Holy Roman Emperor. He dearly loved his children, and would not even allow his daughters to marry out of court. He built a palace swimming pool and loved to hunt. He valued learning and brought in many artists and scholars as well as opened schools. Most classical literature was preserved during this period thanks to him.
(C-571, 1878, 2247) Charles had four wives and up to five mistresses resulting in 16 children. :(C-1351) He died on Jan. 28, 813/814 in Aachen, Rhine, Prussia and was buried at the Cathedral of Aachen known as Aix-la-Chapelle in France (now Germany). His palace and home were in Aix-la-Chapelle as well. A traditional story about Charlemagne's gravesite is that in the year 1000, Otto III opened Charlemange's Tomb and found him seated in a marble chair. He removed the marble thrown and it was used for the coronation of the Emperor's for hundreds of years after.
