Charlemagne, Carolus Magnus, Charles the Great, king of the Franks and emperor of Western Europe, was born in 742, and became an undisputed chief and one of the great centers of power in history, the Holy Roman Empire. Through his conquests abroad and his internal reforms, Charlemagne laid the foundations of what would become Western Europe in the Middle Ages. Today, Charlemagne is regarded not only as the founder of the French and German monarchy, which he is named as Charles I, but also as the father of Europe.

Replica of the legendary "Joyeuse", currently in the Louvre Museum, but which comes from the treasure of the abbey of Saint-Denis. This sword has been used in the consecration of all the kings and emperors of France. The sword of consecration was considered, since the thirteenth century, as that of Charlemagne, the "Joyeuse" (the Merry). Its handle and insert, which carry a vegetal element in the center of the guard, date back to the High Middle Ages. Its spike, adorned until 1804 with fleurs-de-lis on the rhombuses, looks Gothic. Its hawks, formed by small winged dragons, date from the second half of the twelfth century.
