Charles the Great or Charlemagne was a really great king in the medieval times. One of the things that Charlemagne did was that he took over a lot of Gaul and then ruled it . He was such a great ruler that Pope Leo the Third crowned him. This is a big deal because ,most kings and popes fight for power.
Charlemagne encouraged learning. He surrounded himself with scholars from all over the world. He had English, German, Italian and Spanish scholars. He opened a palace school at his capital of Aachen. Charlemagne ruled much of Eastern Europe. His empire grew a lot during his rule. But, his empire fell after many weak rulers that fallowed after him. I think that it must have been hard to rule in such hard times.
