Thus the high values of Christianity became the heart of a new western culture and a new European identity. This was possible because he actively cultivated contacts with the great minds of his day - scholars, architects and artists.  His imperial palaces became the cultural and artistic centers of his pan-European empire. The renowned palace schools which were created there were also the source of an early form of standard grammar, the famous Carolingian minuscule, the forerunner of all western writing systems.  Thus Charlemagne is one of the great figures of world history to whom Montblanc pays tribune each year. People who have devoted their lives to servicing those values to which Montblanc is also committed: the promotion of art and culture.
