"Sword & the Cross"
The Holy Roman Empire or The Empire of the Germans was founded by
Charles the Great(Charlemagne),
whose coronation on Christmas Day 800 gave Papal approval to the unification of France,most of modern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, and northern Italy under his rule.Although his male line descendants had died out within little more than a century, Charlemagne is theancestor of every existing Christian European ruling or former ruling dynasty. The only modern survivorsof the Empire are the ecclesiastical Princes - the German Archbishops and Bishops - and the SovereignPrinces of Liechtenstein. With the death of Charlemagne no ruler until Napoleon ever held sway over hislands and the Imperial title became the legacy of the Germans.Charlemagne's Birth & Burial Place: AachenA city in western Germany, in North Rhine-Westphalia, situated where the three countries of Germany,Belgium and the Netherlands meet.
