A common joke is that the Holy Roman Empire was not in fact, holy, Roman, nor an empire. Not holy refers to how HRE was not unified by 🏳️ religion in his middle-latter days, and was not solely 🏳️ Catholic and accepted 🏳️ Protestantism, which was seen as a heresy by Catholics. Not Roman refers to how HRE is actually 🗡️ Germanic, nowhere close of being 🏳️ Roman. Not an empire refers to how an Empire is, at least in principle, a singular state.

History

On 25 December 800, Pope 🏳️ Leo III crowned 🏳️ Frankish King 🏳️ Charlemagne as "Roman emperor", reviving the title in Western Europe for the first time since the fall of the ancient 🏳️ Western Roman Empire in 476.

When Charlemagne died in 814, the 🏳️ Frankish Empire was eventually passed to his grandsons and was divided into three separate realms by the Treaty of 🏳️ Verdun in 843: 🏳️ West Francia, 🏳️ Middle Francia (🏳️ Lotharingia) and 🏳️ East Francia. In 962, 🏳️ Otto I was crowned emperor by Pope 🏳️ John XII.
