King's Decrees
"Fond of your head? Then you'll do as you are told."Royal charters are tools used by monarchs to create institutions or to confer titles and powers upon individuals (although they are separate from letters of appointment). In a more modern context, they are most commonly employed to establish organisations or to ratify city status. Charlemagne used royal charters, however, to shape Europe according to his pious, Christian vision. One of his most famous proclamations is the 'Charter of Modern Thought', which instructed the leaders of the Frankish Church to begin giving free education to every boy within their dioceses, creating one of the first general educational systems of the post-Roman world. Yet Charlemagne's royal charters (of which we know roughly 200, if not more, were decreed) granted land, revenue and protection, as well as issuing other economic and political commandments.
