(2) Charles the Great (Charlemagn) was the most powerful ruler in Europe. By 800 he had conquered not only all of modern France but also parts of Spain, most of Italy, Hungary and Austria, and a significant part of Germany.
(3) He tried to revive the prosperity in learning. Although he himself could hardly read, Charlemagne was determined to promote scholarship and attracted to his court the greatest intellects of his day.
