Charlemagne became king in 768 following the death of his father. He was initially co-ruler with his brother Carloman. Carloman's sudden death in 771 under unexplained circumstances left Charlemagne as the undisputed ruler of the Frankish Kingdom. He was not "made" king, but rather succeeded to the throne through the death of his father. This is called a succession.
