  • 00:00:00 The video discusses the figure of Carlomagno, who is known for his great achievements in the area of warfare and politics. He is considered to be one of the greatest medieval monarchs, and his legacy continues to be celebrated today. One of the reasons Carlomagno is so important is because he is one of the few medieval monarchs who is recognized as a great figure in both the past and present. He has been canonized by several churches, and has even been considered a saint by some. His influence can be seen throughout history, from the medieval period to the modern era. One of the ways Carlomagno's legacy is still being celebrated today is through the arts. Various artists have portrayed him in different ways, often in opposition to the historical accuracy of his portrayal. However, despite his flaws, Carlomagno remains a significant figure in medieval history.
  • 00:05:00 This video tells the story of Charlemagne and the Carolingian Empire. It covers Charlemagne's biography, political and military achievements, and appearance. It also includes a short excerpt about Charlemagne's interests, such as hunting and swimming. The video concludes with a positive image of Charlemagne, sometimes exaggerated. We have access to different chronicles, composed in Carolingian lands, that provide information about Charlemagne's activity throughout his reign. These sources mention his territorial expansion towards the Italian peninsula and beyond, as well as his patronage of religious and cultural activities. Charlemagne is also known for his reform efforts in the church. Although he had only one son, he was successful in unifying most of Europe under his rule by the 8th century. This period is sometimes referred to as the Carolingian Renaissance.
  • 00:10:00 In the 8th century, the Franks, a Germanic people, began to invade and conquer neighboring territories, including present-day France. This video covers the Frankish kingdom of Charles the Great, and its interactions with the Byzantine and Persian empires. Charles' successors, the Carolingians, became increasingly powerful, and by the end of the 9th century they had expanded their empire to include much of Europe and parts of North Africa and the Middle East. In the 10th century, the dynasty began to decline, and by the end of the century the empire had been divided among several competing dynasties.
  • 00:15:00 In the 720s, Carlomagno successfully unified Italy with another woman, becoming ruler over a rival aristocratic family even within his own family. This is an important time in the life of Charlemagne, when his authority as head of this family goes into full swing, as seen in his military campaigns in the east and west, against German and Alemannic invaders. Around 725, he establishes his power over the area now known as Burgundy. Later in his reign, he consolidates his power over the aristocracy by taking advantage of the weak DUKE of Aquitaine, who is not in serious trouble because he has received military support from Charlemagne. This leads to the subordination of local aristocrats by Carlomagno, who also makes use of confiscation of property from the church to support his own family and consolidate their power. Carlomagno's successful model for rulership among aristocrats, combined with his ability to mobilize and keep elites loyal, set the stage for his successors' continued success.
  • 00:20:00 In this video, Amancio Isla Frez discusses the controversial history of Carlomagno, the first king of the Franks, and his brother, Grifo. Grifo was later deprived of all his inheritance and faced other rivals who emerged at this time of weakness. This is why Carlomagno regained power and restored a Merovingian monarch to the forgotten arc of history, who would be the third and last Merovingian king. This act likely cemented the brothers' inheritance intentions and demonstrated that they were not intending excessive changes in the kingdom. In 741, Pippin and Carloman had to secure their power first against their middle brother, Grifo, or Grifo, and we have him here. He was deprived of all inheritance and against other rivals who emerged at this time, this is why Carlomagno regained power. He then elevated a Merovingian monarch from obscurity - be he Merovingian, sacralized him, and put him on the throne of the last Merovingian king. His brother, Pipino, took over his inheritance without respecting the rights of his nephews, especially the eldest son of Pipino's sister. This allowed Pippin to reclaim
  • 00:25:00 This video follows Carlomagno, who, as the son of a Frankish king, inherits the Francia region in 751. This allows the Pope to relax its vigilantism towards the Franks, who are now seen as favored by God. In 754, Pipino III is made a saint, and Carlomagno attends the ceremony, symbolizing the familial alliance between the Frankish dynasty and the papacy. This alliance is further reinforced by Carlomagno's investiture as king of Italy in 756. Carlomagno's military campaigns in Italy during this time keep the Lombards in check. In 768, Pipino III dies, and Carlomagno immediately begins campaigning in Italy to take his place. He dies in 771, after a successful campaign in Italy.
  • 00:30:00 In 771, Carlomagno's father, Charles the Great, divided the Frankish kingdom among his two sons. Carlomagno (Carolingian king #2, son of Charles the Great) inherited Australia (which at the time was part of the Austrasian kingdom, ruled by Charles's elder son, Louis the Pious). In 774, Carlomagno was crowned king of the Lombards (a Germanic tribe that had invaded Italy in the 5th century and was now under Frankish rule). This led to numerous wars with the Saxons, a conflict that lasted 33 years. The majority of the battles were fought in the Austrasian kingdom, which at the time stretched from the Swiss Alps to southern Italy.
  • 00:35:00 In this video, Amancio Isla Frez talks about carlomagno, the emperor who ruled in the 8th century. Carlomagno's reign was marked by many military campaigns, and his empire was gradually taken over by the aristocracy. One of his most notable accomplishments was baptizing his son, Pipino, into the Catholic faith.
  • 00:40:00 The video discusses the reign of Carlomagno (reigned 714-741), during which the Frankish kingdom expanded rapidly and became more centralized. One of the king's primary concerns was the spread of Christianity, which he saw as a way to unify new populations and convert pagans. At the same time, the war in some sense signifies the Christianization of new populations, as in the case of the Saxons. All of those under Carlomagno were Christians, not heretics, and in the prologue to the Salic law, which is drafted during the reign of Pipino the Short, we consider the Franks present, stating that they are immune to heresy. On the other hand, the expansion of the kingdom was the expansion of Christianity, not the intent of the French kings to diminish or extinguish other identities or cultures. This is seen in the case of the Lombards, whose title remains despite conversion to Christianity. Additionally, linguistic diversity among those subject to Carlomagno is maintained, with Germanic speakers speaking Latin languages, as well as other languages. The identity of all of those under the rule of the Franks is Christian, as is evident from the language of the title deed, which is in French, not Latin
  • 00:45:00 In this video, Amancio Isla Frez discusses the importance of the Carolingian Empire and Carlomagno, its founder. He points out that while Carlomagno was a great ruler, he did not want aristocrats who had high profiles, but rather people with mediocre Latin who were obviously instructed to deliver annual reports so that the activity carried out by these characters is documented for posterity. Carlomagno also stresses the importance of fidelity to the king, and the men of more than 12 years of age who make a solemn oath of loyalty to him. This practice was eventually re-activated, and there were some rebellions during the period, such as in 789 or again in 802 a few years after Carlomagno became emperor. The oath of 802 requires the nobles to obey divine commands as well as not to affect royal possessions, honor widows and orphans, and respect the decrees of the king. This new commitment of allegiance has to do with the royal court's growing moralizing, which was a traditional practice, but re-activated in some point with some rebellions, such as in 789 or again in 802. The most important function of the aristocracy during this period was to watch over the king and the kingdom

01:00:00 - 01:05:00

This video discusses a painting of Charlemagne from the late 8th century which depicts him and the Carolingian Empire. Amancio Isla Frez points out that there are slight variations in the depictions of the emperor and paladin, which reflect the different political realities of the time. The moralizing intent of this period is also evident in the efforts made to improve the welfare of the population and to reform legal systems. However, the dynasty of the Franks eventually fell apart, and by the end of the 8th century, only Louis the Pious and his son, Louis the German, remained. In 814, Louis the Pious crowned his son Louis as emperor, but the young man died only a few years later, leaving Charles the Bald as the only surviving male heir. Charles the Bald tried to give his son a meaningful mandate, but the divided empire soon fell apart.

  • 01:00:00 This video shows a reconstruction of a triptych of the late 8th century, depicting Charlemagne and the Carolingian Empire with Francia highlighted in green. Amancio Isla Frez, one of the first Spanish archaeologists, discusses the details of the painting. He points out that there are slight variations in the depictions of the emperor and paladin, which reflect the different political realities of the time. The moralizing intent of this period is also evident in the efforts made to improve the welfare of the population and to reform legal systems.

  • 01:05:00 The video discusses the painting of "Princess" painted on the church in Aachen, Germany, which had been erased just before the death of the monarch in 800 AD. The painting had announced his death as happened on January 28, 800 AD. He died soon after and was buried in Aquisgrán's church. His reign had corresponded to the end of the French wave of expansion, so at the same time he had revenues and populations. He was also able to confront the new areas controlled by the Franks. However, after 800 AD, his support depended on a French church in development and a pope subjugated to Frankish difficulties. This alliance of interests was very strong at this time, but it would not be so easy or comfortable in other situations. The growth was also manifested in territorial expansion, the gathering of treasure, and the redistribution of lands and offices. This led to the aristocracy valuing the benefits of participating in the system, but when it stopped expanding, its control became less and less attractive. Many new problems didn't appear until later, when the nobility became more evident in weakening the king's power. They did this by increasing their own income and power at the expense of the king's interests and by consolidating
