EssayEssay  There have been many great emperors before Charlemagne, although none of them have contributed to European feudalism like Charlemagne. Charlemagne was king of the Franks, and was crowned the First of the Holy Roman emperors. His advancements were not just conquering land, but advances in government that led him to his superiority. He has greatly spread Christianity throughout Europe. He has created schools for his people. While the educational systems now are much more advanced, it was a great deal for the 8th and 9th century. For these reasons, there is much we can learn about the accomplishments of Charlemagne.(1)

EssayEssay  First, Charlemagne can teach our society that our government can be more of help. Charlemagne’s government helped the poor throughout his time as emperor; the government took little taxes in comparison of what they have given. In today’s government I find a lot of selfishness and greed. For example there is a rising number of homelessness in Toronto. However Charlemagne was ready to help the poor.

If the governments would have learned from this then problems like poverty would be a big deal in Canada. There would be mistakes in every step, but it would bring you one step closer to solving the problem. Therefore, with government taking action, on what is necessary it would help with a lot of problems we face today.

EssayEssay  Second, when Charlemagne has spread Christianity throughout Europe, he has showed us the impossible being done. What Charlemagne did doesn’t mean we have to necessarily do the same, but we could use it as a guideline. We could help bring peace to our nation by closing in on crimes going on. Our government could focus on bring crime rates down, a ban on all firearms could help with this, which could be similar to Charlemagne who:

By forcibly converting them to Christianity, he integrated them into  EssayEssay   EssayEssay      his realm and thus paved the way for the later Ottonian dynasty. [|(wiki.charlemagne(3))]

Here, is an example of how Charlemagne worked hard to bring in Christianity. If precautions such as the one I have stated took place then laws could be passed.

EssayEssay  Last, Charlemagne revived the culture. He has brought back what has been forgotten. Most importantly he brought in the educational system which he thought was really important. He revived the most important features in the culture as well, by bringing in Latin and teaching it. We have already learned from his educational system as we not only have it but we’ve expanded it, by having public to catholic boards, from elementary to post secondary learning. With every member in the public being educated it is made easier to communicate with them. But the revival of culture could be very useful in our modern world. Learning more about the past, could help us learn from the mistakes made. With this being in controlled of the government it has helped us in many aspects of our life.(4,5,6)

EssayEssay  In conclusion the modern world can learn from the accomplishments of Charlemagne. Good governments have helped Charlemagne while in power, letting him establish new laws, and help revive the old ones. Only with good judgment and communication could Charlemagne have been able to rise to the top and become one of the greatest emperors of the medieval time. This all can conclude to the fact that there is much we can learn about the accomplishments of Charlemagne.
