Roma's coronation (chronological order)
Answers
→ The Holy Roman Empire was established in the year 800 under Charlemagne. Later emperors were also crowned by the pope or other Catholic bishops.
The papal coronation was required to acquire the Imperial title until 1508, when Pope Julius II recognized the right of Germanic monarchs elected by the prince-electors to use the Imperial title.
Charles V became the last Holy Roman Emperor to be crowned by a pope, by Clement VII at Bologna, in 1530.
Thereafter, until the abolition of the empire in 1806, no further crownings by the Pope were held.[N 1]
Later rulers simply proclaimed themselves Imperator Electus Romanorum or "Elected Emperor of the Romans" after their election and coronation as German king,
without the ultimate formality of an imperial coronation by the Pope in Rome.
