Why was Otto I declared the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire?

There was a count in northern Italy named Berengar of Ivrea, who declared himself king. In about 860, Berengar invaded the Papal States, which caused Pope John XII to appeal to Otto, who was King of Germany and had already taken the title King of Lombardy. Otto helped the pope, who crowned him emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in return. As it happens, though Pope John XII and Otto I were pledged to support each other, they almost immediately became enemies. The pope entered into multiple conspiracies to depose Otto, and Otto attempted, with somewhat more success, to depose the pope.


Who ruled the roman empire the longest?

The longest reigning Roman Emperor was also the first, Augustus. Depending on when you decide his reign began (some people say 31B.C while others say 27B.C) he either ruled 45 or 41 years. There was a 5th Century emperor named Theodosius II who reigned for 42 years, but he ruled over the Eastern Empire only, and acceded to the Imperial thorne at the age of 7. So the answer depends on how you define the reign of Augustus and what exactly constitutes a Roman Emperor. Theodosius II held the power definitively longer than Augustus did, but he never actually ruled from or over Rome, although they Western Empire was still extant at the time.There was another longer lived emperor from the later Macedonian Dynasty named Basil II. His reign lasted from 10 January 976 to 15 December 1025. This was not the same Roman Empire that Augustus and his early successors had built though. By this time the empire had shrunk to the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor. Despite this, Basil ruled over a stable and affluent Empire.A later emperor of the Palaeologus Dynasty named John V Palaeologus who reigned (on and off between usurpations) from 1341 to 1391. While he held the title Emperor of the Romans, the reality was that the empire had shrunk to the confines of Constantinople and the Despot of Morea in the Greek Peloponess.

What is Roman Empire civilization?

A Roman Empire is a series of empires who each claimed the right for the imperial throne and who considered themselves the heirs of the Roman Empire founded by Augustus. After the colapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the East Roman Empire commonly known as Byzantine Empire considered themselves the true heirs of the once powerful empire. They had all rights to do so and despite their helenistic metamorphosis, they considered themselves Romans until the very end in 1453 AD. Another Empire had risen in The Dark Ages thus claiming they were the rightfull heirs of the West Empire as well as of the Empire as a whole. That was the Frankish Kingdom. On Christmas day 800 AD pope Leo III crowned Chalemagne as a Roman Emperor. The Empire had split apart and had a series of turmoils until the pope of 968 John XII didn't crowned Otto I as emperor. From that moment on The Holy Roman Empire enters the pages of history surviving until 1804 when it was abolished by Napoleon. After the colapse of Byzantium, the empire who destroyed them considered themselves sole heirs of Augustus' empire. They were The Ottoman Empire which lasted from 1300 to World War I when the republic was founded by Ataturk. However even the pope claimed his right as an heir of the Empire calling upon the Donation of Constantine, a probably false document in which Constantine the Great leaves his wordly rights to pope Sylvester I. Ivan Groznyi, the first Russian Emperor, had also considered himself a Roman Emperor. Even Moscow was refered as the third Rome.
