This video should have been about Charles the Great and not the Holy Roman Empire

@wbarquez Yeah I was expecting a documentary on the Habsburgs and the later Holy Roman Empire from 1300-1918. They should make a engineering an empire documentary about the holy roman empire.

The coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III created a dynamic dependency of the Church on the state for her political protection and of the state on the Church for its moral authority. The bad side of this was the corruption of many Church leaders who became enmeshed in politics and tranished the Church with the Crusades and the Inquisition, and led to the Protestant Reformation.

As for the religious angle of Charlemagne's 'coronation' by the pope, this is going to haunt each and every Holy Roman emperor. I guess fate works in funny ways. What it gives, it also takes away. Of course, the Church eventually implodes with the Protestant-Catholic wars several centuries down the line. What way way to sow the seeds of latent destruction and do so willingly?!? :D

@pederman15 Jews were forbidden to own land and were forbidden to be members of most of the guilds in the middle ages. Money lending was one of the few things that Jews were permitted to do, because usury was forbidden by the Church at that time. Ironically, because of our discrimination against the Jews, we Christians FORCED the Jews to become involved in Capital and finance. Have some perspective. Peace.
