Enlarge picture
Charlemagne, in ceremonial robes and crown, surrounded by the symbols of his power. To his right is the French royal coat of arms, and to his left is the arms of the Holy Roman Empire. Charlemagne is holding the imperial orb (a globe bearing the Christian cross) and in the other hand a sword. The sword used to crown kings of France, though made in the 12th century, is known as the Charlemagne sword in honour of this great historic figure.

Frankish dynasty descending from Pepin the Short (died 768) and named after his son Charlemagne; its last ruler was Louis V of France (reigned 966-87), who was followed by Hugh Capet, first ruler of the Capetian dynasty.
