   Holy Roman Emperor: 800
   
   In 799, for the third time in half a century, a pope is in need of help from the Frankish king. After being physically attacked by his enemies in the streets of Rome (their stated intention is to blind him and cut out his tongue, to make him incapable of office), Leo III makes his way through the Alps to visit Charlemagne at Paderborn.
   
   It is not known what is agreed, but Charlemagne travels to Rome in 800 to support the pope. In a ceremony in St Peter's, on Christmas Day, Leo is due to anoint Charlemagne's son as his heir. But unexpectedly (it is maintained), as Charlemagne rises from prayer, the pope places a crown on his head and acclaims him emperor.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Charlemagne expresses displeasure but accepts the honour. The displeasure is probably diplomatic, for the legal emperor is undoubtedly the one in Constantinople. Nevertheless this public alliance between the pope and the ruler of a confederation of Germanic tribes now reflects the reality of political power in the west. And it launches the concept of the new Holy Roman Empire which will play an important role throughout the Middle Ages.
   
   The Holy Roman Empire only becomes formally established in the next century. But it is implicit in the title adopted by Charlemagne in 800: 'Charles, most serene Augustus, crowned by God, great and pacific emperor, governing the Roman empire.'

   742-814. Son of Pepin the Short; king of the Franks (768-814), emperor of the west (800-814). Inheriting the leadership of the Franks from his father, Charlemagne conquered German lands, including Saxony and Bavaria and most of northern Italy, setting a framework for the future Holy Roman Empire. When Pope Leo III crowned him western emperor on Christmas Day 800, his domain comprised almost all the lands between Bohemia in the east and the Pyrenees in the west.
   
   The Carolingian empire was split up after the death of Charlemagne's sone and heir, Louis, in 840. By the 12th century Charlemagne had become a near-mythical hero, celebrated in the Chanson de Roland and other legends and chansons de geste, and descent from him gave royal and noble houses a particular cachet.
