Interview with Charlemagne.

Q: How did you get your kingdom?

A: In 800 AD I became the king of half my father's empire. When my brother died I also got that half. I ran over 50 military  campaigns to expand my kingdom and spread Christianity by force. I also opened up education to all classes. My reign was a small opening of light in the Dark Ages.

Q: How did you spread Christianity?
A: I took over areas and told them to surrender and convert to my religion or die.
