Why were the byzantines angry when the pope crowned Charlemagne as holy roman emperor?

Charlemagne was crown as Roman Emperor, not as Holy Roman Emperor. The title of Holy Roman Emperor emerged centuries later. Charlemagne was given the title of Roman Emperor to symbolise the independence of the papacy from the Byzantine emperor and from Orthodox Christianity, the religion of the Byzantines. The title of this emperor was actually Roman Emperor. Byzantine and Byzantine Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. They use it to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. The term Byzantine was not known at that time. The empire was called Roman Empire and the emperor was called Roman emperor. The coronation of Charlemagne was presented as the creation of another Roman Empire in the west, one which was independent from the one in the east. The Byzantines had retaken Italy after the Visigoths had taken it over. They lost some of their territories to an invasion by the Lombards in northern Italy, but they retained a territory in central Italy, the Exarchate of Ravenna. Rome had been under this exarchate an the emperor had been interfering with affairs in Rome and with papal affairs. The alliance between the pope and Charlemagne gave power to Catholic Christendom and independence to the papacy
