Europeans

The Emperor Charlemagne may be considered as the very first “Father of Europe”. He managed to consolidate a large part of Western Europe, and laid the principles of government which were later inherited by major European States. King of the Francs (France) and King of the Lombards (Italy), he was crowned Emperor of the West in the year 88, in Rome. He chose Aachen (a German city today) as the capital of its Empire.
