Explanation:

Answer 2

The right answers are: A) He established(...)for centuries and C) He helped spread Christianity. The kingdom of the Franks was the most stable and lasting of those founded by the Germanic peoples of Europe. From the 8th century, a new dynasty of kings, descendants of the Heristal family, gave it its greatest splendor, and extended its power to all countries of the west, at the same time that the Arabs consolidated their dominance in the Iberian peninsula.

The new Frankish king received the support of the church as soon as he occupied the throne, with the aim of defending the papacy against the Lombards, the Germanic tribe that occupied Italy. Charlemagne took the city of Pavia, where the Lombard king had been imprisoned, and was crowned king. The papacy received lands on behalf of the conqueror, with which it would later form the Papal states.
