The civilians in the Frankish Kingdom were not much better, because Charlemagne has been on expeditions to attack other countries, so this has led to increased taxes for the civilians of the entire Frankish Kingdom, and they also have to worry about mandatory conscription. However, the Frankish Kingdom

All of this was handled very well. After all, the entire Frankish Kingdom can be said to be Christian believers, and going to war with others is God's will, so the civilians can only work hard without complaining.

However, although the top management of the Frankish Kingdom is not very corrupt, it can be said that it is already a magical existence in this era, because Charlemagne not only does not engage in extravagance and debauchery, but also attaches great importance to the development of the country and also pays attention to the military.

Pay more attention to it, after all, do you want to fight? So in this case, the entire Frankish Kingdom, Charlemagne still captured the Saxons. Because the Saxons were unable to carry out a long-term war, and their national strength was not very good.

Moreover, after Charlemagne captured the Saxons and the previous Lombards, he immediately forced these locals to build a large number of Christian churches in the city, allowing them to convert to Christianity and give up their previous cultural traditions. If they were unwilling, he would directly

The method of killing those who were disobedient was extremely cruel, which also led to the complete disappearance of the previous culture of the Lombards and Saxons, and all were forced to believe in Christianity, because Charlemagne needed to use Christianity as his own tool.

Then he managed all the people, and now the population of the Saxons and Lombards, even all the wealth, and the land here became the property of the Frankish Kingdom.

Charlemagne used this cruel method to expand his territory, so he obtained resources very quickly, and Charlemagne's own prestige in the Christian world was increasing day by day. By 778 AD, Charlemagne led his army into

The Iberian Peninsula also defeated the Arabs who ruled Spain at this time and captured the city of Barcelona.

Although Charlemagne's methods of territorial expansion were so cruel and bloody, the most important part was to completely destroy the local cultural system and force everyone in the places he conquered to convert to Christianity, and all those who did not believe in Christianity were exterminated! But we cannot deny that

Yes, Charlemagne did use this method at this time to expand the territory of the entire Frankish Kingdom, and Charlemagne's own prestige in the Christian world was getting higher and higher!

Charlemagne went through decades of war through this seemingly extremely cruel war method. We can also say that Charlemagne's life was as if he had never lived a life of luxury and debauchery for even one day.

Almost all of his life was spent fighting, either on the way to fight or fighting! So in the end, the territory of the Frankish Kingdom was simply incredible.

How big is it? This is equivalent to expanding to our modern France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Germany, and most of Italy, so the current Frank is an unprecedentedly powerful country! And we have always been

Everyone is saying that Charlemagne is forcing everyone in the places he conquers to believe in Christianity. Therefore, in the Christian world, the current Charlemagne is simply like a real God. Charlemagne himself is very concerned about the spread of Christianity.

The contribution made by Christian culture is simply unimaginable.

So in the end, when Frank's own conquest life was coming to an end, in 800 AD, Charlemagne marched into Rome again. The Roman Empire at this time was very complicated! It was simply to a point that we today can't imagine. First of all, the emperor needed

A large amount of money supported his extravagant life. The nobles also needed it, and the rich also needed it. Therefore, the common people in the Roman Empire were simply in a state of poverty, and their lives were not humane at all. Moreover, the nobles because of their state religion,

That is to say, there are many believers in Christianity, so the state religion of Christianity has a lot of wealth contributed by believers, and the power of the Pope is getting bigger and bigger. So far, the nobles want to get some wealth from the Pope, and the Pope also likes to enjoy it, so there are differences.

, the nobles united and expelled the Pope from the Christian church and told him to get out!

But Charlemagne happened to march to Rome at this time, and Charlemagne was an absolute believer in Christianity. Christian teachings were absolute rules for Charlemagne, and no one was tolerated to blaspheme. Another one was the Pope.

It can be said that even the incarnation of God on earth does not tolerate any blasphemy.

At this point, Charlemagne killed many Roman soldiers and nobles, and then rescued the expelled Pope Leo III. And at this time, Pope Leo III was very powerful, because almost all civilians in the entire Roman Empire believed

Christianity, so sometimes the emperor's words have no effect at all, but the Pope's words are another matter. We can also say that this is simply a concept in which the Pope indirectly empties the emperor's power. We must definitely believe that the original

The Roman Emperor Constantine established Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire. His original intention was to use Christianity to control the empire. Christianity was a tool for him as the emperor. But Constantine never expected that today it would be the Pope using his identity to

It directly emptied the power of the Roman emperor.

Moreover, the pope and the high-level people are the same. They like to be extravagant and wanton. In other words, we can also say that they care very much about power and wealthy quality of life. And Pope Leo III also understood that at this time, even if the Roman army

Even if he himself raised an army as the pope, he could not defeat Charlemagne's army. So after a lot of thinking, the pope made a very bold decision.

On Christmas Day in the year 800 AD, Pope Leo III of Rome crowned Charlemagne as emperor in St. Peter's Church in Rome, declaring the leader of the foreigners as the great emperor of the Romans! From then on, the Frankish Kingdom

It became the Empire of Charles, and King Charles became Charlemagne, and Charlemagne regarded his own empire as the continuation of the Roman Empire.

It is not difficult for us to get a very important message from this. This message is that this marks the basic completion of the Christianization of Western Europe, that is, the melting of Rome and Germania. What does this mean? It means that there were originally many different branches of Christian culture. At this time, Charlemagne

The title of this Roman emperor has been unified! This is also the unification of culture. Christian culture has now become a system enforced by Charlemagne, and Charlemagne feels that he is the continuation of the Roman Empire, and he is the Roman Empire.

emperor, so this also marked the birth of the Holy Roman Empire.

After the birth of the Holy Roman Empire, the opposite was the liberation of all civilians in the entire Roman Empire. They regained their identity as citizens of the Holy Roman Empire and were no longer the talking tools they had been before, because Charlemagne

The territory of the empire at that time was too vast and the resources were very rich. It was also because Charlemagne himself was very disciplined in his life. He always cared about the lives of civilians and even the running status and development of the entire country, so Charlemagne

These various actions of Emperor Manchu also indirectly restrained the nobles and even the rich in the Holy Roman Empire from crazily squeezing the common people.

And there is another principle that works well, so the current operation of the entire Holy Roman Empire and even the lives of civilians have been greatly changed, and they are developing in a benign direction. It seems that the Roman Empire was completely saved by Charlemagne? No

!Now it should not be called the Roman Empire, now we should call it: the Holy Roman Empire, and the emperor is Charlemagne.

Anyway, in a word, all the current operating conditions in the Holy Roman Empire, under the hard work of Emperor Charlemagne, are operating very well in a benign direction.

Moreover, Emperor Charlemagne was gradually reaching his old age at this time, so he was unable to continue the conquest in the army, because Emperor Charlemagne still wanted to completely annihilate the Arabs from the edge of the Roman Empire, or directly from the Arabian mainland, because the Arabs had always

Invading the borders of the Holy Roman Empire, because the Holy Roman Empire at this time was too rich, and the Arabs had previously occupied many parts, Emperor Charlemagne used very bloody and violent methods to remove the Arabs from the Holy Roman Empire.

Kill him and get out.

But although the current Emperor Charlemagne wants to completely annihilate the Arabs, he is really too old and often starts to give up on his own ambitions, so he places all his hopes on his son.

, is providing a very good education to his son, hoping that his son will eventually realize his ambitions.

In 814 AD, Charlemagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, died of illness. His son, Louis the Pious, succeeded to the throne. However, Louis completely failed to realize Charlemagne's wishes and felt that the Holy Roman Empire was already very large.

Now, there is no need to expand. The situation is pretty good now. We have everything to eat, drink, and play every day. Everything is fine. So Louis has several children, three in total.

Moreover, when Louis was on the throne, his three children were not restless at all. They were all thinking that if Louis died, who would sit on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire? So Louis' three sons, in

When Louis was still alive, there was a rebellion, but the town of Louis suppressed it with bloody methods. However, Louis' three sons were not killed, and Louis's three sons were still uneasy. After all, they were killed in bloody suppression.

They are just soldiers. If there are no more soldiers, we can recruit them again. It is just a matter of recruiting troops again. There is no big problem.
