Summary:
One of the earliest monarchs to bring unity from the chaos which followed the destruction of Rome was Charlemagne, King of the Franks. With his trusted advisor and chief aide, Alcuin, a Benedictine Monk, Charlemagne established schools to educate monastic scribes in copying ancient manuscripts during the eighth and ninth Centuries. Through the painstaking handwriting of his scribes on parchment, the reign of Charlemagne is credited with preserving for posterity the knowledge and culture of the great civilizations of Greece and Rome.
