Charlemagne receiving the Ambassadors of Constantine. Charlemagne (742-814 AD) was King of the Franks (68-814) and the first Holy Roman Emperor (800-14). He conquered Italy and was crowned Imperator Augustus by Pope Leo III in Rome. His rule is also associated with the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, religion, and culture through the medium of the Catholic Church.
