Charlemagne was given the title "Emperor of the Romans" when he was crowned by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day in the year 800. This title symbolized his role as a unifier of Western Europe and a defender of Christianity. His reign marked the revival of the Roman Empire's legacy in the West, leading to the establishment of the Carolingian Empire. Charlemagne's leadership laid the foundation for the future states of Europe.
Charlemagne was the king of the Franks. The pope asked him to attack the Lombards and end their rule in Italy. In exchange he was given the title of Roman emperor. This led to the formation of the Carolingian empire. It has been given this name because it was ruled by Charlemagne and his close relatives (after his death). Italy became part of this empire. Charlemagne was called Roman emperor to symbolise the independence of western Europe from the Roman empire of the East which previously was in charge of part of Italy. The pope also was meant to be a subordinate of this empire. Charlemagne provided the military power that gave the Pope and Italy this independence through his alliance with the pope.
The Frankish Empire was also called the Carolingian Empire after Charlemagne, its founder. The pope crowned Charlemagne as emperor. He did this as a reward for breaking Lombard rule in Italy. Charlemagne was given the title of 'Roman Emperor' to symbolise the independence of Italy and (western European) Roman Catholic Christendom form the Eastern Roman Empire which had controlled central Italy and the pope. Basically, Charlemagne was the emperor of Roman Catholic Christendom.
