Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as the new emperor on Christmas Day in 800 AD to symbolize the alliance between the Frankish kingdom and the papacy, reinforcing the idea of a Christian ruler. This act also aimed to legitimize Charlemagne's power and authority, portraying him as the protector of the Christian faith against external threats. Additionally, it marked the revival of the Western Roman Empire, establishing a significant precedent for the relationship between the church and state in medieval Europe.

How did Charlemagne create a large empire?

Oh, dude, Charlemagne was all like, "I want a big empire," so he just went around conquering lands and stuff. He was crowned Emperor of the Romans in 800 AD, which was a pretty big deal back then. Basically, he was just like, "Hey, I'm Charlemagne, and I'm gonna rule a massive empire now."


How did Charlemagne unwittingly unleash a new round of invasions into his realm before his death?

Charlemagne's extensive military campaigns and expansion of the Frankish empire led to the weakening of local defenses and the fragmentation of his realm. After his death in 814, his grandsons inherited a vast but unwieldy empire, struggling with internal divisions and succession disputes. This instability made the empire more vulnerable to external threats, particularly from Viking raiders, who began launching invasions along the coasts and rivers of Europe, exploiting the weakened state of Charlemagne's legacy. Thus, the very expansion and consolidation of power that Charlemagne achieved inadvertently set the stage for new waves of invasions.

Why did King John argue with the pope?

When Archbishop of Canterbury Hubert Walter died on 13 July 1205. The Canterbury Cathedral chapter claimed the sole right to elect Hubert's successor and favoured Reginald. John wanted John de Graham, one of his own men, so he could influence the church more. When their dispute could not be settled, the Chapter secretly elected one of their members as Archbishop. A second election imposed by John resulted in another nominee. When both of these elected arch-bishops arrived in Rome, Pope Innocent III rejected both of them, and elected Stephen Langton to the post. Langton was not accepted by John, the Barons nor the Bishops. Innocent placed the English Kingdom under interdict and excommunicated John. The dispute was finally ended in 1213 when John finally submitted to the Pope.

Charlemagne was given the title of Emperor of the Romans because he was a protector of the Catholic Church and the tilte was meant to signify that there was a Catholic empire in western Europe, separate and independent of the Roman Empire (which at that time was the eastern part of the Roman Empire which continued to exist after the fall of the western part of this empire and which historians call Byzantine Empire).

How was Charlemagne important to restoring order in Rome?

Charlemagne was important in many ways, restoring order to western Europe, and many of these were reflected in Rome, as they were in the rest of the area. He reformed the currency, creating stable coinage that was used through much of the West. He united various kingdoms into a new empire, which we call the Carolingian. He was responsible for unifying the Latin language, which had already diverged into several dialects; the unified Latin was used by the Church and in courts and schools for centuries. He founded schools and raised standards of literacy. All these things had their effects on social order. In Rome specifically, when the Roman nobility took offense at Pope Leo III because the pope was of very humble origin, Charlemagne sent troops into the city and the surrounding territory, to protect the pope and Church officers, and settled a very disturbing situation. It was shortly after this that Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of the Romans.
