In 1493, the Spanish rulers asked for papal support for their claims to the New World discovered by Columbus, in order to restrain the Portuguese and other potential rival claimants.

Pope Alexander VI established an imaginary line running north and south through the mid-Atlantic, 100 leagues (480 km) from the Cape Verde islands. Spain would have possession of any unclaimed territories to the west of the line and Portugal would have possession of any unclaimed territory to the east of the line.

Spanish and Portuguese ambassadors reaffirmed the papal division, but the line itself was moved to 370 leagues (1,185 miles) west of the Cape Verde Islands, or about 46°30′ W of Greenwich.

Answer:

Charlemagne.

Explanation:

After the fall of the Early Roman Empire in 476 BC, the kingdom of Europe fell into the hands of many small kingdoms. But after about three centuries after that, King Charlemagne began his reign and helped unite a large part of Europe into his kingdom.

King Charlemagne was the king of the Franks who came to the throne in 751 BC. His rule began with the plan to unite all Germanic people under his power. He also made it a point to convert the subjects from the captured places into Christianity, thereby propagating the religion on a large scale. That was one of the reasons why Christianity emerged strongly during the Roman empire.

Thus, the correct answer is King Charlemagne.
