Charlemagne

Middle Ages refer to the time period between ancient and modern history.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire, a new civilization developed in Western Europe based on Germanic peoples, Roman legacy and the Christian church.

Charlemagne expanded upon the kingdom built by Clovis. He was a strong leader and a pious Christian. His empire covered much of western and central Europe. In 800, he was crowned Roman Emperor by the pope.

After Charlemagne’s death, his empire fell apart and people turned to local nobles (lords) for protection.

Vassals were knights who provided military service to a lord in exchange for land. They had authority over their land, called a fief.

Manorial system was agricultural estate (manor) owned by lord and worked by free peasants or serfs. Serfs were bound to the land and had to provide labor services, pay
