HOLY ROMAN
EMPIRE
800 - 1806
The Beginning of the Holy Roman Empire
Some say, the Holy Roman Empire was set up in 962, not 800.
What's the difference? Some see the Carolingian Empire as part of
the Holy Roman Empire, some don't.
In the year 800,
Charlemagne was crowned emperor and the
Carolingian Empire was
established.
In the year 962,
Otto I was crowned
emperor and the Ottonian Empire
was established.
