Was Charlemagne a roman emperor or a Germanic King?

Charlemagne was crowned as King of the West Franks in 768, and this certainly made him a Germanic king. He was crowned Emperor of the Roman People by Pope Leo III in 800. Whether this actually made him he a Roman emperor is a question for debate. Certainly Empress Irene of what was called the Roman Empire at the time (now called the Byzantine Empire) did not think the title was legitimate. Please use the link to the related question below for more information on various countries calling themselves the Roman Empire.

What was the strongest Germanic group to emerge after the fall of the western portion of the Roman Empire?

It was the Franks. They took over the whole of Gaul at the expense of the Alemanni, Visgoths and Burgundians, who were Germanics who had settled in Gaul. They also took over southern Germany and Switzerland. The Frankish kingdom was turned into the Carolingian empire. The pope asked Charlemagne (king of the Franks) to crush the rule of the Lombards (another Germanic people). In exchange the pope gave him Italy and crowned him emperor. Charlemagne also invaded part of norther Spain. The then invaded northern Germany. His empire covered most of continental western Europe, except for Portugal, most of Spain and Scandinavia.
