There is some disagreement over exactly who was the first Holy Roman Emperor, some saying Charlemagne, but it seems the majority say Otto I. There is also some disagreement about the title. Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans, as was Otto I; but we really do not know whether this was a rather silly way of trying to assert authority over the Byzantine Empire, which was called the Roman Empire at the time, or a way of trying to resurrect the Roman Empire of the West. However it happened, the idea of crowning Charlemagne as emperor appears to have been one of Pope Leo III, who left no record of what his thoughts were at the time.

When Charlemagne was crowned in 800, he was styled as "most serene Augustus, crowned by God, great and pacific emperor, governing the Roman Empire," thus constituting the elements of "Holy" and "Roman" in the imperial title. The word Holy was never used as part of the title in official documents.The first German emperor to carry the title Holy Roman Emperor was Otto the Great (912-973).
