Carolingian Reform

The Carolingian Reform was a movement initiated in the 8th and 9th centuries by the Carolingian family to renew the moral, religious, and administrative rigor of the Christian Church and society. It aimed to improve church discipline, promote clerical education, standardize liturgical practices, and strengthen the authority of the church and monarchy. This reform helped revive learning, arts, and religious purity during the Carolingian Renaissance, which contributed to the unity and stability of medieval Europe. Essentially, it was a conscious effort to renew and strengthen Christian practices and governance during this period.
