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.

No, it wasn`t. The answer is false.
This question is probably impossible to answer, because nothing is recorded that answers it. We have been told that Charlemagne's coronation as emperor was a surprise to him, but we do not know he opposed it. Charlemagne was crowned three times. He did not oppose the first two, when he was crowned King of the Franks and King of the Lombards.
We do not have a date for the birth of Charlemagne, but he is thought to have been 25 or 26 when he was crowned king. The date given for the coronation is October 9, 768.
Charlemagne's coronation as Roman Emperor in 800 AD symbolized the revival of the Western Roman Empire and the fusion of Roman, Christian, and Germanic elements, establishing a foundation for medieval European identity. It marked the consolidation of political power in Western Europe under a single ruler, reinforcing the authority of the papacy and showcasing the Church's role in legitimizing secular power. This event also set the stage for the emergence of feudalism and the Holy Roman Empire, influencing European governance and culture for centuries.
