(a) describe one similarity between the rule of clovis, king of the franks, and the emperor charlemagne. (b) describe one difference between the rule of clovis, king of the franks, and the emperor charlemagne. (c) explain one reason for the difference described in (b).

Both Clovis and Charlemagne were Kings of the Franks. Both were also Catholic rulers. Both expanded their kingdoms and helped to spread Christianity. 

Clovis was a very strong military leader. This is what allowed him to create such a vast empire. Clovis after uniting his kingdom would divide it again when he tried to fairly divide it up among his sons. This led to civil war.
Charlemagne was a much weaker military leader. He would actually blend Germanic, Roman, and Christian elements in his kingdom. 
Clovis united his people to fight back against the coming Roman Empire. When Charlemagne arrived Roman rule had been part of Frankish life for years. Where Clovis fought to maintain independence, Charlemagne welcomed some of the Roman traditions.
