Charlemagne was declared Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III when Leo crowned him on December 25, 800.
Charlemagne insisted that his subjects convert to Christianity, and he was cruel to populations that resisted conversion. When the Saxons refused conversion, Charlemagne ordered the deaths of more than 4,000 of their soldiers. He also declared that anyone who did not convert would be put to death.

Earlier in history Charlemagne was declared Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III when he rescued the pope form an uprising in Rome. Charlemagne was meant to be the emperor of Christendom in western Europe and calling him Roman Emperor symbolised the independence of this part of Europe and the papacy form the eastern Romans, who had been interfering with the popes. Charlemagne went on to create what historians call the Carolingian Empire, which lasted for about 120 years. It ended with the extinction of the Carolingian dynasty due to continuous infighting. France broke away from Germany and Italy gained independence. When Otto regained Italy he had an empire and decided to call it Roman Empire after Charlemagne's empire.
