Medieval. It's a congregation of Germanic kingdoms and has nothing to do with ancient Roman Empire.
Otto I created the (Medieval) Roman Empire, which was later called the Holy Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire had nothing to do with the Romans. It was a medieval institution centred around Germany. The Roman republic became an empire by expansion both before and after the Punic wars.
No similarities. The Roman Empire was an ancient empire and the Carolingian Empire was a medieval one and therefore related to two totally different societies. The only thing was that Latin was the language of the church, bureaucrats and intellectuals.
The Holy Roman Empire was also called Germany. Strictly speaking the two were not identical, as medieval people used the name Germany to mean places where German was spoken; some of these were not in the Holy Roman Empire and some parts of the Holy Roman Empire were not German speaking.
Germany was part of the Holy Roman Empire. But was not the Holy Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire was actually in Germany and was named so by a pope after Charlemagne or Charles the Great conquered most of Europe and became Christan.The Roman Empire, from around 750 BC, began as a kingdom, then a republic, and finally an empire by around 30 BC, encompassing the entire region around the Mediterranean Sea, including as far west as Portugal and north to the British Isles, west surrounding the Black Sea to Armenia and Mesopotamia, to the south encompassed the northern coast of Africa and all of Egypt. Once Roman military conquest had been accomplished, Roman occupation establish the Latin language, legal system, and culture to these lands and was the origin of what is today referred to as "Western Culture".The Holy Roman Empire included Germany and the part of Italy ruled by Germany between 800 AD to around 1800. Charlemagne, King of the Franks (which was the territory formerly known as Gaul, approximately France and Germany of today) traveled to Rome, where Pope Leo III on Christmas day in 800, unexpectedly crowned him Emperor of the Romans. This put Charlemagne in direct competition with the Byzantine emperor in Constantinople. Charlemagne's empire included the Germanic empire and that part of Italy controlled by the Germans. From this point on, there is a constant power struggle between the Pope in Rome and the German empire which eventually leads to the decline in the power of the Catholic Church and the rise of Protestantism.

The Roman Empire included a large sum of Europe. The Holy Roman Empire(Medieval Period) expanded over all of Western Europe and bordered the Byzantine Empire. The city of Rome is located on the Italian Peninsula.
Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans on December 25, 800 AD, in Rome. Today we call he empire the Carolingian Empire to distinguish it from the ancient Roman Empire, the Medieval Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire), and the Holy Roman Empire.
Because it had a big influence in the Medieval era
Voltaire said the Holy Roman Empire was not 'Holy, Roman, or an Empire.'

Yes. Contrary to popular belief, the Holy Roman Empire is not the Ancient Roman Empire after Catholicism became widespread within it. The Holy Roman Empire was in Central Europe, founded by Charlemagne in the 7-800s, obviously centuries after Catholicism surfaced.
Once the Roman Empire split in two, the Holy Roman Empire created the Vatican.
