Kingdom of Mercia (Age of Charlemagne) Church School Level 2

Cathedral School

Keepers of knowledge should also impart it, you would think.

Before Charlemagne's reforms, educational standards within his kingdom were poor. Basic literacy was the business of the few Church schools, whilst the 'scola palatina' - palatial schools - trained young nobles how to fight and behave at court. Once Charlemagne achieved victory over his immediate enemies he enacted comprehensive educational reforms, transforming the palatial schools into places of actual learning, not just for warfare and manners. However, the majority of his reforms were aimed at the Church schools, which were broadened and deepened as part of Charlemagne's 'Charter of Modern Thought'. Church leaders were vested with the responsibility to educate not only their own clergy, but also ordinary boys from their communities. They were provided with a curriculum, devised by Charlemagne, who also insisted that education was to be entirely free. In this way, he paved the way for many of Europe's modern educational systems.
