Charlemagne - Charles

Japanese: カール[大帝] - カール
Charlemagne - Charles
King of the Franks (reigned 768-814) and Western Roman Emperor (reigned 800-814). Known in French as Charlemagne. He succeeded his father, King Pepin III, jointly with his brother Karlmann (751?-771), and became sole king in 771. In 774, at the request of the Pope, he conquered the Lombards. He subsequently annexed Bavaria and Saxony, defeated the Avars in the east, and sent troops to the Iberian Peninsula, establishing a vast empire stretching from the Elbe River to the Pyrenees and from the North Sea to the Mediterranean. In 800, he was crowned Western Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III, and in 812 the Byzantine Empire also recognized Charles as emperor. He strengthened the government through the system of local administrative officials called counts (Latin: comes, German: Graf) and inspectors, while encouraging the arts and sciences and ushering in the Carolingian Renaissance at his court in Aachen. His epic poems, such as The Song of Roland, make him the epitome of a medieval monarch.
