Charlemagne sought to revive the Roman Empire by unifying its former kingdoms and territories. He gave power back to the Catholic Church in the West.He promoted reforms that led to the beginning of what later became a new structure of government: the State.

On Christmas of the year 800, he was consecrated by the Pope as Emperor of Rome, which was more symbolic than effective. Achieved advances and reforms at the level of political administration.
