Charlemagne was the French name of Carolus Magnus (747-814), King of the Franks. Son of Pepin. Charlemagne's new Carolingian dynasty supplanted the reigning Merovingians.
Charlemagne fought battles almost constantly throughout his life. He conquered Saxony and fought a number of battles with Muslim Spain, which lead to the Song of Roland legends.
Charlemagne was later considered to be one of the Nine Worthies.
