NOOO!!!Charles Martel is the grandfather of Charlemagne."Martel" means Hammer because Charles Martel stopped Muslims from expanding in the Battle of Tours. He never became emperor.His grandson, Charlemagne centralized the Germanic peoples by traveling a lot to ensure his control and also setting up a system with counts (local rulers) and missi dominici to check on the counts.He was crowned emperor by Pope Leo 2 after fighting off the Lombards (barbarians). He helped spread Christianity by becoming one. (ex: Saxons forced to convert to Christianity since Charlemagne defeated them)
There was no Charles 1 that ever ruled the Holy Roman Empire. There was a Charles the Great, King of the Franks, Charles the Bald, Charles the Fat, Charles IV of Luxembourg and Charles V that had the title but never a Charles 1.
In Irish names "Mac" means "Son" and "Ó" means "Grandson"
