Close, as the Catholic Church appointed him Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The Roman Empire of the West ceased to exist by 476 CE, after which the Eastern Empire, based in Constantinople and also known for historical reasons as the Roman Empire, was the sole remnant of past glories.

On Christmas Day 800, Charlemagne, king of the Franks, was crowned in Rome by Pope Leo III with the title of Holy Roman Emperor. Leo not only crowned Charlemagne, he kneeled before him.

The effect was to replace the Emperor in Constantinople as the temporal protector of the Church in the West and signalled an end to the Eastern Emperor's involvement in Western affairs. It was intended by the addition of the word 'Holy' to forge a definitive link between the papacy and Charlemagne's empire.

In which way did European contact have a devastating impact on the American Indian population

maria [59]

European settlement had overwhelmingly negative consequences for Native Americans. Though Native American tribes did occasionally form positive relationships with European settlers, permanent European settlement in America eventually led to disease and displacement. Native Americans had no immunity to European illnesses and their population was devastated by the (sometimes deliberate) introduction of diseases like smallpox. Over time, most surviving tribes were forcibly relocated from their traditional lands to make way for expanding European settlements.
