Yes. On Christmas Day 800 AD, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III following his conquest of Italy, thereby becoming the first Emperor of the western Roman Empire since Romulus Augustulus who was deposed in 476 AD.The official title of the Holy Roman Emperor was August Emperor of the Romans (Romanorum Imperator Augustus). When Charlemagne was crowned in 800, he was styled as "most serene Augustus, crowned by God, great and pacific emperor, governing the Roman Empire," thus constituting the elements of "Holy" and "Roman" in the imperial title. The word Holy was never used as part of the title in official documents.The first German emperor to carry the title Holy Roman Emperor was Otto the Great (912-973). Under his leadership, the former Carolingian kingdom of East Francia became the Holy Roman Empire.
