Charlemagne's empire was called the Empire of the Roman People. This was rather inconvenient, because the East Roman Empire was still operating and WA also called the Empire of the Roman People. So today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire and the East Roman Empire of the Middle Ages is called the Byzantine Empire.

Where was it the king Charlemagne lived?
Charlemagne lived in the Kingdom of the Franks, of which he became king. In 800, he was crowned as Emperor of the Roman People, which was a title that had very little to do with the Roman Empire aside from the name. His empire is now called the Carolingian Empire; it divided some years after he died into the Kingdom of France and what came to be called the Holy Roman Empire, or Germany. Charlemagne's Empire was the largest in Western Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire.
What empire did Charlemagne form?
Charlemagne formed what historians now call the Carolingian Empire, though it was called the Empire of the Romans at the time (the same title maintained by the Byzantine Empire at that time). His empire went moribund for a few decades, as no emperor was crowned, but it was revived, and in its new form came to be called the Holy Roman Empire. That later empire was destroyed during the Napoleonic Wars, in 1805, just over a thousand years after Charlemagne became emperor.

Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Emperor in St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome, on December 25, 800 AD. At the time he crowned Charlemagne, he referred to the empire as the Roman Empire. Today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire, but at the time, people in Western Europe called it the Roman Empire, as Pope Leo III had. The people of the Byzantine Empire of the time, who had always called their country the Roman Empire, and would as long as it existed, were not very happy about this. The Carolingian Empire divided into France, and a country we call the Holy Roman Empire, but which called itself the Roman Empire for some time. If all this sounds confusing, imagine how it sounded to the people of the time. There are a links below.
