From the transcript
Born around about 742, Charmaine, or Charles the Great, was destined for greatness. As King of the Franks, a united Western Europe, transforming, squabbling tribes into a powerful empire. But he wasn't just a conqueror.
Charmaine had a vision for his kingdom, initiating the Carolingian in 8, on a cultural and learning revival. Under Charmaine's rule, Latin was standardized, and scholars flocked to his court. He even, himself, learned to read and write.
On Christmas Day, in 800 Pope Leo III crowned Charmaine, Holy Roman Emperor boosting his power, and linking him to the ancient Roman Empire. Though he faced challenges like sacks and uprisings and skirmishes with moors, Charmaine expanded his empire to cover modern-day France, Germany, and parts of Italy.
