Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans by pope Leo II. However, the was not actually a Roman emperor. He was the king of the Franks and became the emperor of what historians call the Carolingian Empire, which was and empire of the Franks, not the Romans. Charlemagne was given the title of Emperor of the Romans because he was a protector of the Catholic Church and the tilte was meant to signify that there was a Catholic empire in western Europe, separate and independent of the Roman Empire (which at that time was the eastern part of the Roman Empire which continued to exist after the fall of the western part of this empire and which historians call Byzantine Empire). The Byzantines had controlled part o Italy, including Rome. The popes had been struggling to assert their independence from this empire, which, besides interfering, was Orthodox Christian.

It was not Rome which collapsed. It was the western part of the Roman Empire The conventional date set by historians for the end of the western part of the Roman Empire is 476. In this year the last emperor in the west, Romulus Augustus was deposed. The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians call it Byzantine Empire. This is a term which has been coined to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).

The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD, while the Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453 AD, almost a thousand years later. That's not what I call 'shortly'...
Charlemagne did not help the Romans. He was around some 300 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. He helped the pope, who made him emperor of the Romans. Charlemagne created his own empire, which historians call Carolingian Empire, but was given the title of emperor of the Romans to symbolise the independence of western Europe and the papacy from the empire of the eastern Romans (also called Byzantines by historians). The eastern part of the Roman empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of this empire. The eastern Roman emperors had been claiming of sovereignty over the city of Rome and the papacy.

Charlemagne's empire was called the Empire of the Roman People. This was rather inconvenient, because the East Roman Empire was still operating and WA also called the Empire of the Roman People. So today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire and the East Roman Empire of the Middle Ages is called the Byzantine Empire.
