Born into the royal family, Charlemagne always knew what it meant to live a life of luxury. His parents, devoted to God and religion, immediately introduced him to Christianity. His father, being king of the Franks, granted him the title as soon as he came of age. Once Charlemagne's brother Charlemagne died and did not fulfill his duties as king, Charlemagne took his place. This decision makes him not just the leader of one kingdom, but of two. Throughout his life he inspired others and converted many citizens to become Christians. While he had his fair share of victorious battles, one crucial expedition caused pandemonium throughout the kingdom. Charlemagne is not an epic hero, because he was unsuccessful with the calling he received and disappointed millions of people, including himself. Being brought into this world, Charlemagne's parents, Betrada of Laon and Pepin the Short, already had a passionate love of religion. . They had always been true, devout Christians and sought God's guidance. Having their firstborn, they knew it was essential to introduce their child to religion. Therefore, from an early age Charlemagne learned the importance of believing strongly in something. Charlemagne, being the eldest of three sons, gave him a sense of leadership and valor. Being the oldest gives him more responsibility and awareness, characteristics that will be useful in the future. According to Manuel Komroff, “King Pepin had given his children the best education by placing them in the palace school, where there were many educated instructors who came from special training” (Komroff 14). Komroff argues: “As a result Charlemagne could say and express anything he wanted in the smoothest way, while he… middle of paper… that used to bring joy to his heart. He begins to spend more time with his children and enjoy the same hobbies he has grown to love with his friends. During his days, activities such as fishing and hunting were carried out with close friends and family. He has become more intact with his religion and has focused on converting more people to Christianity and making sure before the one thing he is truly devoted to dies. Now that his children are all entitled to the throne, he makes sure to train them more and more every day so that all three of them can become great leaders and rulers. Charlemagne's decisions and actions may not always have been wise, but they were just enough to satisfy many citizens living in his kingdom. One thing no one will forget about him is that he not only makes decisions for his own benefit but makes sure others benefit too..
