Charlemagne was crowned as King of the West Franks in 768, and this certainly made him a Germanic king.
He was crowned Emperor of the Roman People by Pope Leo III in 800. Whether this actually made him he a Roman emperor is a question for debate. Certainly Empress Irene of what was called the Roman Empire at the time (now called the Byzantine Empire) did not think the title was legitimate.
