Based on Merovingian ad hoc arrangements, using the form missus regis ( the " king's envoy ") and sending a layman and an ecclesiastic in pairs, the use of missi dominici was fully exploited by Charlemagne ( ruling 768 — 814 ), who made them a regular part of his administration, " a highly intelligent and plausible innovation in Carolingian government ", Norman F. Cantor observes, " and a tribute to the administrative skill of the ecclesiastics, such as Alcuin and Einhard ".

Einhard made these claims in " Vita Karoli Magni " ( Life of Charles the Great ), a biography of Charlemagne, King of the Franks.

Born into a family of relatively low status, his parents sent him to be educated by the monks of Fulda-one of the most impressive centres of learning in the Frank lands-perhaps due to his small stature ( Einhard referred to himself as a " tiny manlet ") which restricted his riding and sword-fighting ability, Einhard concentrated his energies towards scholarship and especially to the mastering of Latin.

The work thus contains an understandable degree of bias, Einhard taking care to exculpate Charlemagne in some matters, not mention others, and to gloss over certain issues which would be of embarrassment to Charlemagne, such as the morality of his daughters ; by contrast, other issues are curiously not glossed over, like his concubines.
