He led numerous battles and continuously emerged victorious, often against larger armies. He rose from relative obscurity to become the ruler of all Western Europe in but a few years, using an army that had never before achieved such greatness.

He created a civil code that is still in use and provided the inspiration for many civil codes worldwide.
