Charlemagne was a Frankish king who built an Empire, which was divided among his heirs, eventually becoming two nations. The eastern half of the old empire became the Holy Roman Empire.
The emperors were at first very powerful men who inherited their power and authority in the same way a king would. Later on, they lost much of their power and were elected to office by a group, usually of seven elector princes, including four of royal status and three bishops.
