The Holy Roman Empire originated in the early Middle Ages, evolving from the Carolingian Empire established by Charlemagne in the 9th century. In 800 AD, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III, symbolizing a revival of the Western Roman Empire's authority. The term "Holy Roman Empire" was formalized later, particularly under the reign of Otto I in the 10th century, as a means to unite the Germanic territories under a Christian ruler. Over time, it became a complex political entity comprising various kingdoms, duchies, and principalities in Central Europe.
