523. Charlemagne: Return of the Kings (Part 1)

The episode explores the life and legacy of Charlemagne, detailing his rise from the decline of the Merovingian dynasty to becoming the King of the Franks by papal endorsement. It highlights the influence of Charles Martel, significant battles, and the gradual shift of power dynamics as the Franks transitioned from Roman authority to a new feudal structure. Furthermore, it emphasizes the complex relationships between the Franks, the papacy, and the Byzantine Empire, setting the stage for Charlemagne's eventual coronation as Emperor, establishing a foundation for a prominent era in European history.

Charlemagne's rise marked a significant shift in European history, symbolizing the transition from barbarian warlord to a ruler crowned by the Pope, thereby merging the legacy of the Roman Empire with emerging medieval powers.
