Why was Otto I declared the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire?

There was a count in northern Italy named Berengar of Ivrea, who declared himself king. In about 860, Berengar invaded the Papal States, which caused Pope John XII to appeal to Otto, who was King of Germany and had already taken the title King of Lombardy. Otto helped the pope, who crowned him emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in return. As it happens, though Pope John XII and Otto I were pledged to support each other, they almost immediately became enemies. The pope entered into multiple conspiracies to depose Otto, and Otto attempted, with somewhat more success, to depose the pope.


Where did the power of holy Roman Emperor come from?

Charlemagne was a Frankish king who built an Empire, which was divided among his heirs, eventually becoming two nations. The eastern half of the old empire became the Holy Roman Empire. The emperors were at first very powerful men who inherited their power and authority in the same way a king would. Later on, they lost much of their power and were elected to office by a group, usually of seven elector princes, including four of royal status and three bishops.
