Breve Historia de de Carlomagno y el sacro imperio germánico

Discover the exciting history of the emperor Charlemagne, a ruler who established himself as a guarantor of the continuity of classic culture in Europe, who achieved stability and peace, and who raised a model empire in terms of administration and cultural promotion.

It's the 8th Century and fog and lethargy threaten to engulf all of Europe after the fall of Rome. Culture was relegated to the obscurantism of the monasteries, where the monks copied and held the treasures of past ages.

In Rome, the former rulers of the world saw the inhabitants of the East as dark, semi savage beings that formed part of barbaric tribes that ate raw meat and were incapable of building a coherent and steady political structure. Among the Franks, a West Germanic tribe, a talented young man with leadership aspirations, military skill, and administrative genius emerged. He was known as Charlemagne.

This same pagan and illiterate young man would later promote the value of Latin and Greek and the continuation of Western culture, would release the cultural artifacts from the monasteries, and would eventually become emperor and build a kingdom by unifying Roman, Germanic, and Catholic traditions.

Siglo VIII. Las brumas y el letargo amenazaban con cubrir toda Europa tras la caída de Roma. La cultura estaba relegada al oscurantismo de los monasterios, donde los monjes copiaban y guardaban los tesoros de épocas pasadas.
