Details Personnels

I am the Emporer Charlemagne. I am widely regarded as the greatest king of the Franks, and I have accomplished much during my reign. A short while after I put down a rebellion in Aquitaine, my brother, Carloman II (who refused to help me with the defeat of the uprising), died and left me the sole ruler of the region. Since then, I have done an excellent job of running the country.

Mon Influence sur la Culture Francaise

     I  am both a military and a social leader. Under me, the Franks have experienced both an economic and political increase in power and no longer have to fear invasion or war. We now have peace and stability.

I have sent led our armies, sometimes at their head, and we have spread our power throughout the surrounding world.

    Once, I was abandoned by my own brother in the face of an uprising. I alone put down the rebellion. I have also changed the religious face of the region. Under me, the Chruch has experienced widespread growth and prosperity.

     I hope that what are now the Frankish nations will someday become agreat nation that is recognized around the world. I have every confidence that my son will be a good king after me, and I look forward to the growth of our country.
