Best Answer

The first was the Empire's founder, Charlemage. He was "Holy" because his rule had been blessed by the Pope - Leo III crowned Charlemagne personally. He was "Roman" because the Holy Roman Empire was meant to return to Europe the order and cultural life that had been lost when the original ancient Rome fell.

The first Roman emperor was Octavian/Augustus and he never gave himself any titles. The title "Augustus" was given to him by the senate. His other title "Pater Patria" which means "father of the country" was also given to him by the senate.

Did Charlemagne contribute to the Holy Roman Empire?

Yes.
