Charlemagne was the oldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon. He became king in 768 following his father's death, initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. Carloman's sudden death in 771 in unexplained circumstances left Charlemagne as the undisputed ruler of the Frankish Kingdom.
As leader of the kingdom of the Franks, Charlemagne united many of the Christian lands of Western Europe during the Middle Ages. He was declared the emperor of this collection of states, which eventually came to be called the Holy Roman Empire.
