Charlemagne was crowned in Rome. The coronation took place on December 25, 800 AD, when Pope Leo III placed the crown on his head, proclaiming him Emperor of the Romans.

The Frankish Empire, which is usually called the Carolingina Empire, started on December 25, 800 AD with the coronation of Charlemagne in Rome.
Charlemagne was crowned "Emperor of the Romans" by Pope Leo III on December 25, 800 AD. This event marked the revival of the title in Western Europe and symbolized the alliance between the Frankish state and the papacy. The coronation established Charlemagne as a key figure in the promotion of Christianity and the unification of Western Christendom.
Charlemagne took the crown from the pope and placed it on his own head during his coronation in 800 AD to assert his authority and independence as the ruler of the Carolingian Empire. This act symbolized that he derived his power not solely from the church but also from his own achievements and legitimacy as a leader. By doing so, he established a precedent for the relationship between the church and state, emphasizing the idea of a divinely sanctioned ruler who was not subordinate to the papacy.
