Charlemagne had to govern a system that needed an organized structure in order to be successful. The stability that was the Roman Empire was gone; such things as structured law, roads, and education had plummeted significantly. Charlemagne had to figure out how to create a better system in which to rule. Charlemagne was also very religious, and desired to rule a Christian Kingdom, and that in part that helped in coming up with a unified goal. Most of his priests were illiterate, and needed and education in order for Charlemagne’s religious message to come out unified. At this point, before Charlemagne rolled out his plan, many had either different takes on religion or followed an inconsistent one. He built schools and brought many people from
The Case of Randy Harris describes the lesson of a middle school mathematics teacher, and how he uses diagrams, questions, and other methods to guide his students to a better understanding. Throughout his case study, Harris’ methods could be easily compared to that of the Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices. There are eight mathematical teaching practices that support student learning, most of which are performed throughout Randy Harris’ lesson. Harris didn’t perform each teaching practice perfectly, despite doing the majority of them throughout his lessons. The following are examples of how Randy Harris implemented the eight mathematical teaching practices into his lesson, and how the ones that were neglected should have been
Who would have thought tax plans were so interesting? No one does, but hey, let’s talk about why Dave Barry’s short story, “Mutant Fleas Terrorize Midwest”. In this short story, it consists of sarcasm, satire, and hyperbole along with other types of humor to create a masterpiece, which is this story. This whole story is mockingly making fun of the people who will believe anything that’s posted on the internet. So, in this story, by Dave Barry, uses the humorous elements of satire, hyperbole, and comic characters, to make a great story about a reporter investigating if mutant fleas are fact or fiction.
Charlemagne sponsored a revival of learning that is referred to as the Carolingian Renaissance. Because Charlemagne relied on the church to provide many important services to his administration, he ensured that the level of education that clergymen received was adequate. He saw to it that schools were established at monasteries, by bishops at cathedrals and in parishes throughout the kingdom. The Carolingians under Charlemagne had strong ties with the church, which had an affect on Charlemagne’s rule.
He gave gifts to popes.he had a lot of influence.he ruled forty-seven years. charlemagne was healthy.he lived pretty long. Charlemagne organized a system of governors throughout his kingdom, sending out men he knew to keep order all over his kingdom, and then sending out other men to check up on the governors.he expanded his kingdom.
Throughout the reign of Charlemagne, he imposed many crucial developments which were key to the success of his empire. First off, up until this point in history so far, high positions in government tended to be given to people who came from wealthy and noble families. This meant that these people holding high positions felt as if they were entitled to their positions, often felt they were in a higher social class from the common person, and thought they did not have to agree with the absolute ruler on everything since they are a noble in their own right. When Charlemagne inherited the throne, he set up a new system where high ranking officials, called counts, were selected by him and only him, and could include even the lowest peasant in
Charlemagne encouraged education, especially within Christianity. Charlemagne encouraged a “Carolingian Renaissance” by promoting a cultural and academic revival. In this revival, Charlemagne promoted the standardization of writing that later became the foundation for modern Western alphabets. His palace in Aachen comprised a school and he recruited the finest teachers.
After having read both versions of the life of Charlemagne there is no doubt that they differ greatly in the sense of style, audience, and emotion. By reading these two descriptions of Charlemagne's life we are able to decipher somewhat of the life he led as a shaper of early medieval European history. However, both of these versions possess the admiration of a noble man who they believe is worthy enough to be noted in history to some degree.
Jessica Sponaugle Darrel McGhee American History II Jan. 27, 2016 What were the living conditions of the cities in the U.S. during the turn of the century? The government made exclusions to where Chinese people could not move into the U.S. The government did this because they wanted to keep the Americans happy. Plus, the Chinese people were easy to distinguish from the other immigrants.
During the years of St. Augustine, the Roman Empire fell in the west. It was being replaced by regional barbarian kingdoms, and was entering what some historians call the dark ages. It was a traditional, authoritative empire, with vast free-trade and a centralized government. It transformed into a Europe of economic localism, and filled with a minority of educated people. It was now a Christian Europe. A very important person during this new Europe was the Frankish king Charlemagne. His rule was known throughout the world, and Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne the "Emperor of the Romans." On top of this title, he still held all of his other titles. Charlemagne made tons of contributions during this time in Europe. He had
An anomaly is defined as a deviation between the common rule, type, arrangement, or form. The common rule in the Middle Ages was the total absence of centralized authority and the pervasive competition between kings, local nobility, and the church. In this case, Charlemagne was truly anomalous. During his reign, he managed to achieve centralized political authority over a ginormous portion of Europe. His kingdom (later to be known as the Holy Roman Empire) contained modern France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, most of western Germany, much of Italy, some of Spain, and the island of Corsica. Charlemagne also meticulously secured ties with the local nobility; therefore, quelling any possible insurrection. He also held strong associations with
Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, reigned during a time of much turmoil and upheaval in Europe during middle ages. Charlemagne’s background and family history contributed much to his rise to power. The triumphs of his past lineage prepared him to take on the task of governing the Frankish Empire, and defending it from invaders. Charlemagne accomplished much during his supremacy. He not only brought education back into medieval Europe, but also invented an efficient way to govern his people. His conquests against the many adversaries of the Holy Roman Empire expanded his empire across the majority of Europe. His conquests also formed strong ties between the Catholic Church and the State. Charlemagne’s drive to convert Europe’s primitive
I believe that because Charlemagne had a talent for languages and could speak Latin and understand Greek, and other languages. He also gave money and land to the Christian church and protected the popes. That is important, because the public goes to church. He also had a
The education of the Frankish Empire was almost nonexistent so the first step Charlemagne made was simply encouraging intellectual curiosity and learning. He gathered many wise men to his court, including Alcuin, Peter of pisa, Paulinus, Theodulf, and Agobard. They encompassed diverse fields like grammarian, historian, poet, theologian, and came from far away places like Italy, Spain, and Ireland.7 Charlemagne highly valued their wisdom and would reward them lavishly with money and property such as abbeys.8 with these great men, Charlemagne set up the first school at his palace to teach reading, writing, and the scriptures. One story by Mayke de Jong, gives an illustration of just how much Charlemagne valued education. While inspecting the school, Charlemagne put the hardworking pupils on his right and the lazy ones on his left symbolizing eternal judgement.9 He made no distinction between rank, but many of the lower ranked pupils
In Charlemagne’s palace school at Aachen, one finds the ideals and aims of the Carolingian renaissance most definitively. Palace schools were not unheard of in the Frankish kingdom. The Merovingians established a school to train young nobles to fight, and how to conduct themselves at court. At the time, however, no academic knowledge was being imparted. The only schools that taught academics were at monasteries and cathedrals. Charlemagne altered the palace school into a center of learning and knowledge (Carolingian Schools 1). He hired scholars to teach, and appointed Alcuin to oversee the school. Charlemagne required Alcuin himself to instruct the royal family in reading and writing. In addition to the palace school, Charlemagne made many decrees concerning the education of his people (1). His “Charter of Modern Thought” required that the monasteries be concerned with “the study of letters” (2). In yet another decree Charlemagne ordered that teachers “who are both willing and able to learn” be hired and “let them apply themselves to this work with a zeal equal to the earnestness with which we recommend it to them” (2). Knox argues again on this point saying “Charles' court at Aix-la- Chapelle was a beacon for men of learning, and the king funded their activities. It was from these, and others, there originated a burst of activity that would have a strong influence on medieval intellectual life” (Knox 14). Charlemagne provided not only for the sons of
Einhard (c. 770-840) was a renowned monk, scholar, and writer of Frankish descent. Although regarded highly for many achievements, the most important contribution of his lifetime was the uncharacteristically secular Life of Charlemagne, which has since become a topic of great discussion and scrutiny. Many contemporary historians criticize Einhard’s biography about the mighty Frankish ruler on the basis that it seems to be biased towards painting a near perfect picture of Charlemagne’s reign as king and eventually emperor. There definitely seems to be a one sided view present, taking into consideration some of the opening statements Einhard prefaces his biography with: “Charles, that most excellent and deservedly most famous king,” and, “Here
