Charlemagne was the oldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon. He became king in 768 following his father's death, initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. Carloman's sudden death in 771 in unexplained circumstances left Charlemagne as the undisputed ruler of the Frankish Kingdom.
They did this on Christmas Day, in the year 800 CE. With hundreds of people watching while Charlemagne knelt down Pope Leo placed a crown on Charlemagne's head, and in front of everyone proclaimed Charlemagne the first Holy Roman Emperor. The people cheered and shouted. Their King, Charlemagne, was now an Emperor by decree of the Pope. This seemed to the people to be the ultimate honor. Charlemagne knew better. Charlemagne was no fool. He knew that the title, Holy Roman Emperor, actually placed him under the command of the church.
