<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 4678643, member: 87200&quot;]The pope crowned Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day in the year 800 as every schoolboy and schoolgirl knows. It was featured prominently in my 6th grade history class on the &quot;important events&quot; timeline along with the birth of Mohammed and so forth. It wasn&#039;t mentioned that Irene was emperor in the East and that the pope refused to recognize Irene&#039;s sole rule. (The reason behind the coronation, though I suppose that the religious schism of East and West had something to do with it).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
