Kingdom: A country ruled by a king or queen. Empire: A group of countries controlled by one ruler (an emperor).
Events happening in Europe during this Period: Holy Roman Empire & Emperor Charlemagne: In the beginning of the 9th century A.D. (C.E) , a new institution called Holy Roman Empire came into existence in continental Europe. This had nothing to do with the old Roman Empire which had ceased to exist after 476 A.D. (C.E) . The newly established Holy Roman Empire represented Christianity and Christendom and hence, it was designated holy. The emperor was supposed to be a Representative of God on earth like the Pope. The emperor dealt with political matters, while the Pope dealt with spiritual. The Emperor was superior to everybody else in the world, except the Pope. Charlemagne, the king of Franks, was the first Holy Roman Emperor to assume the title (800 A.D. (C.E) ) . Charlemagne was a contemporary of Pallava king Nandivarman II and Pratihara ruler Nagabatta I.
King John and the Great Magna Carta: The nobles in England forced King John II to sign a Charter of Liberty in 1215 A.D. (C.E) . It is Magna Carta or the Great Charter. This Charter contained a promise that the king would respect certain liberties of the nobles and the people of England. The theory of the supremacy of the ruler which prevailed in the Holy Roman Empire was not accepted in England. King John of England was a contemporary of Sultan Iltutmish in India. Thus in England, we find that the king’s power was checked early.
