Charlemagne The Great
I think that Charlemagne deserves to be called great because of the following reasons. First of all, Charlemagne helped children learn things that some of the adults didn't even know such as reading and writing. Secondly, Charlemagne was equal to all genders and that's saying something because back then because girls were discriminated. Being equal by judging was difficult because if you were to have friends or family you would always have wanted them to be treated better. But the difference between Charlemagne and other leaders is that he was equal to any cause there was. Also, When Charlemagne would fight in a war he would win almost always there were of course times when he would lose.
