“[T]he most important factor that explains Charlemagne’s success and his enduring reputation lies in his conception of kingship… distinguished… by an awareness that power implies responsibility… The king’s power comes directly from God and elevates him to a status above all others, but, by its very nature, such power is limited by the king’s accountability to God for its proper exercise… [H]e saw himself as father to his people, with responsibility for their spiritual and physical well-being… [which] enjoined him to assume as his special concern the welfare of widows, orphans, the poor- all those least able to protect themselves.”
