Charlemagne

Charlemagne Charlemagne Charlemagne was born on the second of April in the year 742 A.D. He was born into the Merovingian family. This is the family that the Franks normally chose their kings from. At this point in time kings really had no power. The real power fell into the hands of the mayor of the palace. He was the man in charge of the country. The only thing that the king took care of was the ambassadors that would come to the place from far away. But, that was not really his job either the king would just listen to what they had to say and tell them what the mayor had told him to say. All of this was about to change with Charlemagne. He would make the king of the Franks an honored position. That was both respected and feared when it was mentioned. The ancestors of Charlemagne were from the Merovingian family. Charlemagne’s father pepin was appointed to the position of mayor of the palace. The reason he was appointed to the position is because that his father had held the position with great dignity and honor.
