A #Frankish pope, he was elected in 824 through the influence of the #Franks and #Roman nobles over Zinzinnus, preferred by the #clergy. He banned simony, supported #church #schools and suspended untrained and ignorant clergy. He conspired with #emperor #louisthepious to enact a law that no pope could be elected without Frankish approval. #otd #Catholicism #RomanCatholicism #catholic #history #histodons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Eugene_II

The Carolingian Empire (800–888) was a large #Frankish-dominated empire in western and central Europe during the #EarlyMiddleAges.
In #AD800, the #Frankish king #Charlemagne was crowned emperor in Rome by #PopeLeoIII in an effort to transfer the #RomanEmpire from the #ByzantineEmpire to western Europe.
