What is the difference between the Orthodox Church and the Holy Roman?

The Holy Roman Empire was actually in Germany and was named so by a pope after Charlemagne or Charles the Great conquered most of Europe and became Christan.The Roman Empire, from around 750 BC, began as a kingdom, then a republic, and finally an empire by around 30 BC, encompassing the entire region around the Mediterranean Sea, including as far west as Portugal and north to the British Isles, west surrounding the Black Sea to Armenia and Mesopotamia, to the south encompassed the northern coast of Africa and all of Egypt. Once Roman military conquest had been accomplished, Roman occupation establish the Latin language, legal system, and culture to these lands and was the origin of what is today referred to as "Western Culture".The Holy Roman Empire included Germany and the part of Italy ruled by Germany between 800 AD to around 1800. Charlemagne, King of the Franks (which was the territory formerly known as Gaul, approximately France and Germany of today) traveled to Rome, where Pope Leo III on Christmas day in 800, unexpectedly crowned him Emperor of the Romans. This put Charlemagne in direct competition with the Byzantine emperor in Constantinople. Charlemagne's empire included the Germanic empire and that part of Italy controlled by the Germans. From this point on, there is a constant power struggle between the Pope in Rome and the German empire which eventually leads to the decline in the power of the Catholic Church and the rise of Protestantism.

When and where was charlemagne crowned holy roman emeror?

Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Roman People on December 25, 800 AD, by Pope Leo III, in St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome. His empire, however, is not usually considered the same as the Holy Roman Empire. Today, the empire of which he was crowned is usually called the Carolingian Empire. In the past, historians sometimes equated the Holy Roman Empire with the Carolingian Empire. Today, they are less likely to do that, and most commonly the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is counted as Otto I. According to this newer view, the Holy Roman Empire was not equal to the Carolingian Empire, but descended from it. I should point out that the facts of events are not being disputed, but rather what names should be used. Medieval people did not use the name Holy Roman Empire until long after both Charlemagne and Otto I were gone, and they never used the name Carolingian Empire at all.
