Who is Pope Alexander III?

Answer 1

Pope Leo the Third was the pope who crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of the Romans on December 25, 800 in Rome.
Pope Leo III was a common-born man, who grew up to become the Pope. Supporters of his predecessor, Hadrian I, tried to make him ineligible for the Papal office by cutting out his tongue and gouging out his eyes in April of 799. He escaped, and fled to Charlemagne, who offered him shelter and protection. A short time after, Leo crowned Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor, an act which established the Pope as a superior figure to the king, as it was the Pope who held the power to decide who actually became king.
