Being crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire he was acknowledged as head of Western civilization and the protector of the Church. Charlemagne boldly conquered barbarians and kings alike. By restoring the roots of learning and order, he preserved many political rights and revived culture. The realm of Charlemagne covered areas of France, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. It also included half of present-day Italy and Germany, part of Austria, and the Spanish border. Charlemagne was a tireless reformer who tried to improve his people's lot in many ways. He set up money standards to encourage commerce, tried to build a Rhine-Danube canal, and urged better farming methods. He especially worked to spread education and Christianity in every class of people. He revived the Palace School at Aachen, and set up other schools, opening them to peasant boys as well as nobles. Frankland was an unquestioned superpower until Charlemagne’s death in 814. History views Charlemagne as the single most outstanding individual of the early medieval (500-1000) western civilization.
