| | Charlemagne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Charlemagne's marriage and relationship politics and ethics did, however, result in a fairly large number of descendants, all of whom had far better life expectancies than is usually the case for children in that time period. | | | Soon the Avar tuduns had thrown in the towel and travelled to Aachen to subject themselves to Charlemagne as vassals and Christians. | | | The papacy had for some years been in conflict with Irene's predecessors in Constantinople over a number of issues, chiefly the continued Byzantine adherence to the doctrine of iconoclasm, the destruction of Christian images. |

| | Charlemagne |
| | Rightfully known as a "light in the Dark Ages," Charlemagne is the most influential military leader of the Middle Ages because his armies dominated the battlefield and their victories led to uniting Germanic, Roman, and Christian cultures into what became the cornerstone of European civilization. | | | From 800 forward, Charlemagne ceased expanding his borders, concentrating instead on threats from the Vikings and Danes in the north and the Byzantine Greeks and the Mediterranean Arabs in the south. | | | More than a fourth of the Saxon population died in the protracted wars from Charlemagne's postwar policy that the defeated people either accept Christianity or be executed. |

| | Charlemagne's Biography |
| | On November 24, 800, Charlemagne entered the ancient capital in state; on December 1 an assembly of Franks and Romans agreed to drop the charges against Leo if he would deny them on solemn oath; he did; and the way was cleared for a magnificent celebration of the Nativity. | | | Nor were all these capitularies laws; some were answers to inquiries, some were questions addressed by Charlemagne to officials, some were moral counsels. | | | The mercantile middle class declined, leaving no group to compete with the rural aristocracy; French feudalism was promoted by Charlemagne’s land grants and by the triumphs of Islam. |

| | Athough Charlemagne's obolus was soon forgotten, the denarius long survived, as the denier in France until the French Revolution, and as the penny in England until, of all things, 1970. | | | Thus, Charlemagne can be claimed, and named, as a French King, but there is no doubt that he was a German. | | | What finally drove things down to the bottom was the Arab Conquest, which crippled or destroyed trade in the Mediterranean, as this had been carried on by Romania. |

| | The period of Charlemagne was also an epoch of reform for the Church in Gaul, and of foundation for the Church in Germany, marked, moreover, by an efflorescence of learning which fructified in the great Christian schools of the twelfth and later centuries. | | | In his eighteen campaigns against the Saxons Charles was more or less actuated by the desire to extinguish what he and his people regarded as a form of devil-worship, no less odious to them than the fetishism of Central Africa is to us. | | | This reign, which involved to a greater degree than that of any other historical personage the organic development, and still more, the consolidation of Christian Europe, will be sketched in this article in the successive periods into which it naturally divides. |

| | Charlemagne did not have as many immediate descendants (say, in three generations) as some medieval monarchs: but he is surely the earliest such figure for whom such a broad descendancy has been so thoroughly traced. | | | This bit of nonsense masks the value of the original hypothesis, which is almost certainly true: we are all descended from Charlemagne—at least, all of us with any European descent at all. | | | As a medievalist, I am heartened that these scientists have been offering support for something that comes as a gut reaction to many genealogists who have traced premodern lines: everyone does seem to descend from Charlemagne. |
