Who is Charles martel?
Charles Martel, meaning Charles the Hammer, was mayor of the palace (or chancellor) of Austrasia, which was the eastern part of the Frankish kingdom.He restored a united Frankish kingdom and established a power base on which the Carolingian empire was founded. In 732 he defeated the invading Muslims at Poitiers and stopped further Muslim expansion into Europe.His son and grandson later become kings...
Why did Charlemagnes empire not survive?
Under Frankish law, a kingdom did not pass to a single heir, but was distributed among the heirs. Under the Carolingian Empire, this was modified only to the point of having the empire go to a single heir, but there were numerous kingdoms controlled by different kings. The various kings quarrelled, and the overall emperor was only able to get support from his own kingdom, not from the empire as a whole, so the empire passed to a powerless state. Later, it was revived, but France remained separate from it; in this revived form, it was called the Holy Roman Empire.
