When my father, who was the son of Charles Martel, died, my brother and I took over. Three years later my brother died and I took over. On Christmas day, 800 A.D., I became the emperor.
What was your main goal as emperor?
During my time in power, which was 768 A.D. to 814 A.D, my goal was to try to recreate Rome. I set the country up with 350 counties, each with one Count in charge creating a unified Christian Empire. I also set up a school system, and even I learned to read and write.
Do you believe you will be remembered in the annals of history?
Yes, I believe I will. I personally led over 50 military campaigns, going to battle with the aim of unifying war torn Western Europe. Also, I was a Christian King and for that I believe I will be remembered.
