Yes, the empire of Charlemagne, also known as the Carolingian Empire, was considered a successor to the Western Roman Empire. Charlemagne was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III in 800, which symbolized a continuity of imperial power in Western Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire. However, it is important to note that while Charlemagne's empire drew inspiration from the Roman Empire, it was a distinct political entity with its own institutions and culture.

The empire of Charlemagne was in several ways a successor to the Roman Empire. Firstly, the Pope officially crowned him Emperor of the Romans". He took most of the former Roman lands in Europe, but expanded northward rater than to the south. He filled the power vacuum and drove away the barbarians who filled Europe when Rome fell. However, in most ways his empire was more akin the the Feudal kingdoms to come.
