Charlemagne was important in many ways, restoring order to Western Europe, and many of these were reflected in Rome, as they were in the rest of the area. He reformed the currency, creating stable coinage that was used through much of the West. He united various kingdoms into a new empire, which we call the Carolingian. He was responsible for unifying the Latin language, which had already diverged into several dialects; the unified Latin was used by the Church and in courts and schools for centuries. He founded schools and raised standards of literacy. All these things had their effects on social order.
In Rome specifically, when the Roman nobility took offense at Pope Leo III because the pope was of very humble origin, Charlemagne sent troops into the city and the surrounding territory, to protect the pope and Church officers, and settled a very disturbing situation. It was shortly after this that Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of the Romans.
True :D This a question from the Virtual Learning Question.
When Charlemagne was named “Emperor of the Romans,” it simultaneously symbolized Charlemagne's importance and the power of the Catholic Church. For Charlemagne, being associated with the greatness or the Roman Empire- by the Pope, no less- let all of Europe know that his power invoked the memory and legacy of Rome. For the Church, it showed people that the titles it bestowed on people still carried weight and influence.
Charlemagne was not crowned emperor of the Romans. He was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor, which had nothing to do with ancient Rome. The so-called Holy Roman Empire was a Germanic kingdom of the Middle Ages.
Charlemagne was the king of the Franks. The pope asked him to attack the Lombards and end their rule in Italy. In exchange he was given the title of Roman emperor. This led to the formation of the Carolingian empire. It has been given this name because it was ruled by Charlemagne and his close relatives (after his death). Italy became part of this empire. Charlemagne was called Roman emperor to symbolise the independence of western Europe from the Roman empire of the East which previously was in charge of part of Italy. The pope also was meant to be a subordinate of this empire. Charlemagne provided the military power that gave the Pope and Italy this independence through his alliance with the pope.
Charlemagne was crowned king of the West Franks in Noyon France on October 9, 768. He was crowned emperor on December 25, 800 AD in St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome, by Pope Leo III. Charlemagne was crowned at least one other time, when he became King of the Lombards, probably in Pavia, in 774, though I do not see precise information on this. The information may well exist in sources I have not seen.
