Carlos Magno: O Pai da Europa

On Christmas Eve in the year 800, a Frankish warrior knelt in a basilica in Rome. The Pope placed a crown upon his head. And the Western world would never be the same again. This man could barely write his own name. But he ordered copies of all the remaining texts from Antiquity. He spent forty years waging brutal wars—and yet he created schools, reformed laws, and invented a model of state that Europe would take centuries to surpass. In this video, we tell the complete story of Charlemagne—from the wars against the Saxons and the massacre of Verden, to the construction of the court of Aachen, to his coronation as Emperor of the West, to the collapse of the empire in the hands of his grandsons and the Treaty of Verdun that gave rise to France, Germany, and Italy. ⸻ 🏛️ VIDEO TOPICS 00:00 — The coronation that changed the world 02:00 — Pepin's son, Charles Martel's grandson 04:00 — Carloman's death and the unified throne 06:00 — The wars: Lombardy, Saxony, and the Verden massacre 09:30 — Aachen: the court of knowledge 12:00 — December 25, 800 — the imperial coronation 15:00 — The emperor as administrator: currency, justice, and bureaucracy 18:00 — The tension with Rome and Byzantium 20:30 — Louis the Pious and the end of the empire 23:00 — The Treaty of Verdun and the birth of modern Europe 25:30 — Charlemagne's legacy ⸻ 📜 BEHIND THE SCENES OF HISTORY — documentaries about major events and Civilizations that shaped the world. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel and activate the bell so you don't miss the next videos in the series. #Charlemagne #MedievalHistory #BehindTheScenesOfHistory #Charlemagne #MedievalHistory #MiddleAges #CarolingianEmpire #FatherOfEurope #HistoryOfTheWest #BehindTheScenesOfHistory #HistoricalDocumentary #HistoryInPortuguese #RomanEmpire #Franks #Europe #WorldHistory #WarriorsOfHistory
