The Carolingian Dynasty included the reign of Charlemagne. "Today he is not only regarded as the founding father of both French and German monarchies, but as the father of Europe: his empire united most of Western Europe for the first time since the Romans, and the Carolingian renaissance encouraged the formation of a common European identity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne That's no small feat.

In the overview of European History, neither one rates more than a sentence in contributions. It the local history of the UK, they were each instrumental in the changes that took place within their own time-line, the Tudors building on the continental advances made possible by the interactions of the Carolingians with the rest of the known world at the time. The Tudors wouldn't even be mentioned at all, except for their great fortune of being in the ruling classes during the time of the discoveries made possible by world-wide exploration.
