Charlemagne- 800 AD

Q: Charlemagne can you tell me about you?

A: I was the Grandson of Charles Martel and I was king of the Franks. I was known for never losing a military conquest and I built economic and educational structure. I later founded the Holy Roman Empire. Once my father died my brother and I each received one-half of his land. One day my brother died and I owned all of the land and I divided the empire into 350 countries over time. The Bloody Verdict of Verdon was when I killed leaders for worshiping false gods. I later built Royal schools, allowed children to access education, and later on tried to learn to read and write myself. In the year 800 AD I was crowned emperor on Christmas Day.
