Question

Under Charlemagne and Otto the Great it was simply called Roman Empire, correct? When did that change?

Answer 1

The Holy Roman Empire was a mainly Germanic conglomeration of lands in Central Europe during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. It was also known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation from the late 15th century onwards.

It originated with the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day, AD 800, and lasted until the abdication of Emperor Francis II in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars.

Answer 2

Charlemagne was not called the Holy Roman emperor; it doesn't come out until the 15th century, although some books suggest the name earlier.

Answer 3

Middle ages after the Dark ages period that ends with Charlemagne. It cropped up as a legitimacy issue amongst his numerous heirs, or people claiming his ancient sovereignty or that of Rome as an empowerment of their political ambitions.

Answer 4

I think from the time that Constantine converted.. A little dry on my history though.
