Pope Innocent III called for the Fourth Crusade in 1198 CE primarily to reclaim Jerusalem and aid the Christian states in the Holy Land, following the perceived failures of earlier crusades. He sought to unify Christendom under papal leadership and believed that a successful crusade could strengthen the Church's influence. Innocent aimed to redirect the energy of European knights and nobles towards this religious mission, emphasizing the spiritual benefits of participating in the crusade. However, the campaign ultimately diverged from its original purpose, leading to unforeseen consequences.

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.
