Note on Husband: Charlemagne +
Charlemagne or Karl der Grosse (as he is known in Germany) became King of the Franks on the death of his father Pepin III in 768. He went on to conquer parts of Italy and Germany, and also fought campaigns in Spain and Hungary. Although the classical Roman Empire had collapsed four hundred years earlier, Charlemagne revived the title of Roman Emperor and was crowned by the Pope in 800. As Roman Emperor and King of the Franks (i.e. France) his attributed arms combined the arms of the old Roman Empire (as attributed to Julius Caesar) and the arms of the Kingdom of France."
