Charlemagne

Charlemagne was born April 2nd. After his brother Carloman dies, he becomes the sole ruler of the Franks. From then on he begins his conquest, overtaking smaller kingdoms to expand his own. Bit by bit, he became ruler over most of Western Europe. He ruled for nearly 50 years, but conquering wasn't the only accomplishment he had. Charlemagne established schools and spread Christianity. He issued money and improved the economics of that time period, but above all, he united Western Europe. He ruled over for 50 years. In 800, Charlemagne was crowned emperor and 14 years later he dies in Aachen. After his death  his empire falls apart, divided by his three sons who weren't only attacked by barbarians and vikings, but also attacked each other.
