Clovis
Pepin the Short was a Frankish king who founded the Carolingian dynasty and was the first king to be anointed by the Pope. He established a strong alliance with the papacy, which helped solidify the power of the Frankish monarchy. Pepin also expanded the Frankish kingdom through successful military campaigns.
Most, possibly all, of the medieval kings of Germany were literate. Germany was an alternative name for the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, and the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were referred to by the title King of Germany from the time they were elected until they were crowned by the pope. The title is also used for kings of the earlier East Frankish Kingdom, starting with Louis II, who was a king of the Carolingian dynasty. All of these people came after Charlemagne, who put strong emphasis on education, raising the standards for all people of his kingdom. In fact, the period of Charlemagne and the Carolingian Empire is referred to as the Carolingian Renaissance, and the period of the first three emperors of the Holy Roman Empire is referred to as the Ottonian Renaissance.

Clovis was the king of a major branch of the Franks, the Salian Franks. At the time the Franks were divided into several kingdoms. Clovis had a Frankish king, Chararic, executed and killed another one, Ragnachar. He conquered all the Frankish territories except for that of another major branch, the Ripuarian Franks of central Germany. He then conquered Cologne and became the king of all Franks. Therefore, he united all the Franks under his rule. He then conquered the remaining Roman territory in Gaul and pushed the Visigoths out of south-western Gaul. Therefore, he gained control of most of Gaul, except from Brittany, Provence, and Brittany, establishing the franks as the most powerful people in Western Europe. Clovis died in 511, that is, 289 year before the creation of the Carolingian Empire and was a king of a different dynasty, the Merovingians. The Carolingian Empire was created by the Carolingian dynasty.
Pepin the Short, also known as Pepin III, was the King of the Franks from 751 until his death in 768. He was the first Carolingian king and the father of Charlemagne.
