By consensus The first Emperor is taken to be Otto I (also known as Otto the Great).

He was crowned Emperor by Pope John XII on February 2nd 962.

It must be noted that the term Holy Roman Emperor and the Empire did not come into use until some time later.

Holy Roman Emperors were crowned by the Pope until the 16th century.
