Lecture 13: Charlemagne Dr. Ann T. Orlando 8 October

Introduction Charlemagne Campaign against Muslims and other Germanic tribes Papacy Byzantium Carolingian Renaissance After Charlemagne 2

Charlemagne ( ) Born (in Aachen?) in 747 to Pepin the Short and his wife, Bertha the Big Foot Assumed power when Pepin died in 768 Continued many of the policies of his father and grandfather (Charles Martel) Died in Aachen in 814 3

Charlemagne’s Wars with other Germanic Tribes At request of Pope Adrian I, Charlemagne invaded northern Italy Defeated the Lombards in 774, forced conversion of Arian Lombards to Catholic Christianity Returned property as promised by his father (Pepin) to papacy Continued Frank’s campaign north against Saxons in 796 Forced (violently) conversion of pagan Saxons to Catholic Christianity Attacked and conquered Avars and Slavs in Eastern Europe Forced conversion to Catholic Christianity 4

Charlemagne’s Wars with Muslim Armies Southern France Continued to ‘mop-up’ Muslim enclaves in Southern France, especially around Provence and Aquitaine Northern Spain Invited by Muslims in Barcelona to protect them against the Muslims in Cordoba Some success in Catalonia Defeated by Basques in 778 (Song of Roland) Western Mediterranean Recaptured Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia 5

Spheres of Political and Military Influence in early 9 th C Byzantines Northeastern Mediterranean Southern Italian coast and Sicily Claims to all old Roman Empire Religious ally: Patriarch of Constantinople Franks (Europe) Central Europe, northern Italy Religious ally: Papacy Arabs (Turks in later centuries) Southern Mediterranean, Spain Religious Ally: Islam At various times for the next 600 years these three groups will play off one against the other 6

Early 9 th C Western Relations with Byzantium Major political issues from Byzantium’s perspective Donation of Constantine Coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Contributing to weakened position of Byzantium Muslim invasions Iconoclast controversy in East Empress Irene Efforts made to arrange a marriage between Irene’s daughter and Charlemagne’s son, but not effective Major theological issues Libri Carolini Filioque 7

Libri Carolini Four books written on Charlemagne’s orders to refute 7 th Ecumenical Council (Nicaea II) Libri Carolini Condemned by Adrian I (who had sent legates to Nicaea II) Apparently the result of poor translation form Greek to Latin, as well as concerns that it might support a return to ‘pagan’ worship of idols Also, intended to rebuff Empress Irene and Byzantine pretentions to ‘speak’ for all Christendom 8

Filioque Filioque means ‘and the son’ as found in Latin versions of the Creed The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son First used in Spain in 6 th C (mistranslation from Greek The Greek, original, Nicene-Constantinople Creed has the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father Augustine in De Trinitate refers to the precedence fo the Holy Spirit both ways in discussions of transcendent and immanent Trinity Charlemagne’s court accepts and promulgates the filioque as the official and correct version of the Creed For an excellent treatment of the history and theology of this, see “The Joint Catholic Orthodox Statement on the Filioque,” 9

Pope Leo III (r ) Succeeded Adrian I Adrian had tried to maintain a balance between Franks and Byzantines Adrian supported Irene and Seventh Ecumenical Council on Iconoclasm Leo III sides completely with Charlemagne Attacked by Adrian’s (Byzantine/Roman) supporters Crosses Alps to find safety with Charlemagne, returned to Rome under safety of Charlemagne's troops When Charlemagne visits Rome in Fall of 800, Leo III crowns him Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day Did Charlemagne know and approve? Makes Papacy ‘king-maker’ in Europe Makes papacy politically and militarily dependent on Western rulers 10

Carolingian Renaissance: Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle) Capital Located on Rhine near boundary with Saxons Charlemagne impressed by Byzantine architecture in Ravenna Commissioned a cathedral and palace in a ‘Byzantine’ design Most important piece of architecture in Europe at the time Charlemagne established a court and educational center in Aachen Drew scholars (monks) from around Western Europe 11

Impact of Charlemagne’s Rule Enforced Latin, Roman liturgy Established centers of learning for clergy and monks (although he could not read) Set up European-wide system of administration Establish precedent of Western Holy Roman Empire Cemented special relationship between Pope and France 12

Monastic Scholarship in Charlemagne’s Court Charlemagne established a center of learning that drew monastic scholars from across Europe Alcuin of York ( ) Advises Charlemagne on religious and educational matters Established cathedral schools and libraries Attempt to revise and standard liturgy, and Latin in liturgy Theodulf of Orleans ( ) Wrote (?) Libri Carolini Author of many poems and hymns, including “All Glory, Laud and Honor” Development of Carolingian script Capital and lower case letters Easy to read letters 13

After Charlemagne Kingdom divided among his three sons at Treaty of Verdun Sons are weakened rulers, creating a power vacuum Lingering problem: who’s in charge politically, Pope or King Viking invasions begin during Charlemagne’s lifetime, and increase throughout Europe in 8 th C Note, Charlemagne considered a saint in region around Aachen The name for ‘king’ is derived from ‘Charles’ in many Eastern European languages 14
