Intended to commemorate Charlemagne’s character and achievements, Einhard’s document also delves into the nature of Charlemagne’s empire, examining which political strategies helped or hindered the Frankish Empire’s formation. In regards to the nature and scope of Charlemagne’s empire, Einhard draws particular attention to the ways in which the Frankish Empire was the continuation and embodiment of old, Roman prestige.

    The oldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, Charlemagne became king in 768 following the death of his father. He was initially co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. Carloman's sudden death in 771 under unexplained circumstances left Charlemagne as the undisputed ruler of the Frankish Kingdom. Charlemagne continued his father's policy towards the papacy and became its protector, removing the Lombards from power in northern Italy, and leading an incursion into Muslim Spain. He also campaigned against the Saxons to his east, Christianizing them upon penalty of death, leading to events such as the Massacre of Verden.

    Looking back at history, an individual usually can find an incredible amount of information about any given period in any given part of the world. Yet as varied are the history books, so are the biases which they each present. We see one example of these biases in Einhard's The Life of Charlemagne in which this adviser and close friend to the great Frankish king gives his history of Charlemagne's life. One issue that Einhard repeatedly touches on is the virtually uninterrupted series of wars that the Frankish Kingdom under 'Charles the Great' undertook. Throughout the individual accounts of these war, Einhard attempts to justify Charlemagne's military career.…

He also accompanied his father on many military campaigns. These campaigns showed Charlemagne the battlefield of both life and war, and influenced him to restore the fragmented society he saw.…

    A quality of a good leader is to be able to improve your empire and also be able to sustain it. Charlemagne noticed how the Franks were not as educated as other civilizations, so he set up a school in his palace, with the help of Alcuin, the greatest scholar in Europe. His students learned Latin, music, maths, and literature. When improving infrastructure, he made many things like Rome, he built forums, baths, theatres, and aqueducts. He also modeled his capital city, Aachen, on Rome. He converted his people to Christianity by adding many churches throughout the empire, but he also converted people with force, by “shortening them by a head”[1], which was really just beheading someone; it is with this method that he converted many people he…
