Charlemagne was King of the Franks from 768 until his death. He expanded the Frankish kingdoms than to transform them into an empire that incorporated much of Western and Central Europe. Conquered Italy and was crowned Imperator Augustus by Pope Leo III on 25 December 800 in Rome.

This happened to the Byzantine Empire as the protector of Christendom. Given the initial outrage of Constantinople, in 812 an agreement was signed between the two leaders, and again there were two emperors in Europe, one in the East and one in the West.

Commonly reign has partnered with the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of the Latino culture and art through the Carolingian Empire and run by the Catholic Church. Through his foreign conquests and internal reforms, Charlemagne laid the foundations of what would become Western Europe in the Middle Ages. In monarchies, France, Germany and the Holy Roman Empire, he was appointed as Carlos I.
