And because of his ability to offer protection and frankly, just his power, he is crowned Holy Roman Emperor. One of the reasons why this is significant, once again, it's saying, hey, the Byzantine Emperor isn't really the heir to the Roman Empire. It's this Holy Roman Emperor. But Otto is able to create a line of Holy Roman Emperors that continues all the way until 1806 when they are conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte. Now, the Holy Roman Empire itself, and Voltaire famously said it is neither holy nor Roman nor an empire, over various stages in its history is fragmented. It's many kingdoms with different levels of autonomy. But under Otto, it was quite unified.
