Paganistic peoples, a degradation of the Latin language, and the decline of power of the
             Pope or Papacy all contributed to the need for a leader to bring about reformation. Charles
             Martel, Pepin, and ultimately Charlemagne all took as their personal responsibility the
             reorganization of the Church. Each one, as king of the Franks, saw it his duty to better the
             state of his churches. (Ganshoff 205) Charlemagne, through the monasteries and
             ultimately the "Palace School", required all priests to learn classic Latin. His purpose was
             to insure that church services were always conducted in the proper form, with correct
             pronunciation and grammar. The education of the priests also served to provide
             Charlemagne with a growing number of educated people for his administration, and gave
             his kingdom a unified written language that could be passed on throughout all of Western
             Europe. (Holmes 97)
