In the document addressed to Louis the Pious, it demonstrates one example of this permeation. In order to keep a unified kingdom when he died, he incorporated several religious practices such as fasting and sacrificing in order to choose the heir that most pleased God. This heir would then be put over the others as the one king. Also, in the case of Charlemagne, the only times he wore foreign costumes was when seeking to gratify the pope. He also sought education for himself and his children in the liberal arts, where he mainly received tutelage from deacons and teachers from the Catholic faith. Finally, the document written to Louis the Pious was laden with constant Biblical references. The high magnitude of scriptural references implies that not only would this be accepted by the king, but it would add legitimacy to the document. This shows how the Christian Bible also began gaining educational and cultural validity among the Carolingian
