AHC: Empire of Charlemagne remains Unified

Charlemagne_Empire_Map.jpg


The challenge is to have the empire of Charlemagne survive as a single polity after his death and remain so up until at least the early 15th century.

Bonus points, depending on your answer, if you explain...

1) How would this effect the balance of power in medieval Europe.
2) How would this effect the Crusades?

Not happening.

Charlemagne's empire revolved around him and lacked the institutional power to avoid balkanization once he was gone. It was simply too big, and required a constant influx of territory and loot to keep its populace satisfied.
