Lesson 3.1

• The monarch (king or emperor) = HOLY

• In 800 AD Charlemagne was crowned emperor by the pope.
• Pope and monarch  made each other more powerful:
•           Monarch:      he became "holy", chosen by God.
•           Pope:     he got to decide who becomes king / emperor

• We call this: the divine right of kings. It lasted until the French Revolution (1789)
