Charlemagne, King of the Franks, responsible for much of the current structure of Europe. In the Jewish Encyclopedia, he is noted to have been a clever man, especially clever in his relationship with the cleverest race, the Jews.

Charlemagne permitted them into positions he found useful, such as Business, yet he limited their political and religious status, reducing the negatives they could cause or induce while still taking advantage of their skills. Like his killing of the Saxons, uniting of the Germanics, or adoption of Christianity, this approach with Jews was highly practical and prosperous.

Adolf Hitler, in all his controversies and apparent intolerance towards Jewry, greatly admired the mentality of Charlemagne: “Charlemagne . . . was one of the greatest men in world history. . . . History must be interpreted in terms of the necessities of the time”. —04.02.42
