Best Answer

Head of the Holy Roman Empire

Roman Catholic AnswerIt would be difficult to overemphasis the importance of Charlemagne in the history of Europe, and the history of western Christendom. He was the protector of Rome, the unifer of Europe, and the Father of Western Christendom. He promoted education of the clergy, reformed the monasteries, overhauled the legal system for Europe, united all of Europe, and was crowned Holy Rome Emperor by Pope Leo on Christmas Day in the year 800 A.D. You might say that he ended the "Dark Ages". For a fuller discussion see "The Coronation of Charlemagne" in Diane Moczar's book Ten Dates Every Catholic Should Know, below:
