He united many of the tribes of central western Europe into a single empire
The emperor tried to divide regions of territory out to his sons. These empires did not follow cultural, ethical ties, and did not have local nobility support. This caused the decline of the Frankish empire.
Charlemagne was a successful leader because he (whether its good or not) converted much of western Europe to Christianity, he unified western Europe, he extended his empire, he also blended many traditions (germanic Roman and Christian). He also set up a strong and efficient government.
The Western Empire existed separately from the Eastern Empire from 285 AD to 476 AD, so for 191 years.
Although the empire Charles built did not long outlast his death, still his consolidation of territory was an important stage in the growth of Europe. In addition, many of the changes and developments made by Charles himself, or fostered due to his patronage, would endure long beyond the Carolingian Empire. The offices created or adapted by Charlemagne would persist for centuries in the variations of counts, dukes and marquises across Europe and Britain. Charlemagne reorganized the monetary system, devising the system of pounds, shillings and pence used throughout Europe in the middle ages and in Britain until the 1970s.
From the years 768 - 814.
Charlemagne ruled the Carolingian Empire. He was also the king of multiple countries; he was King of the Franks and separately King of the Lombards. The land was divided among the king's sons in those days, but Charlemagne only had one son who survived him, so the empire and kingdoms remained intact. When Charlemagne's son died, one of his grandsons inherited the empire, and both he and the other grandsons inherited separate kingdoms. They had wars with each other, and the authority of the empire gradually declined. For a number of decades, there was no emperor at all. The imperial title was restored by Emperor Otto I in 962. His empire, however, did not include the Kingdom of the Franks, or France, as it is now called, and is not called the Carolingian Empire, but the Holy Roman Empire instead. The Holy Roman Empire was destroyed by Napoleon about 850 years later. Many people regard the Holy Roman Empire as the same thing as the Carolingian Empire, and they would say Charlemagne's empire was destroyed by Napoleon. Most historians, however, take the position that Charlemagne's empire fell apart in the wars among his grandsons.

Charlemagne
i don't think that it was holy because the event of formation of the empire can be said as the treaty between the then pope and the Frankish's king Charlemagne . according to me the pope had used Charlemagne for the formation of the holy roman empire to protect himself as he used to do many illegal work.
Charlemagne admired the monastery of St. Gall for its exceptional libraries, scriptorium, and its reputation as a center of learning and culture in the Carolingian Empire. The monks of St. Gall were known for their scholarly activities and produced many important manuscripts during Charlemagne's reign.

Charlemagne was not crowned emperor of a city. He was crowned Emperor of the Romans, implying that he was ruler of the Roman Empire. There was, and still is, much controversy over this event. We do know know what the intent was or even who was behind it. Charlemagne is said to have taken the position that the coronation was a surprise to him, but many people have found that hard to believe. The Byzantine government, which still called itself the Roman Empire, took issue at the whole thing, as can well be imagined.
