Small historical inaccuracy. Otto's union of East Francia and Lotharingia in 962 formed the first Reich. Charlemagne was indeed crowned as Holy Roman Emperor, but over the Frankish empire (which was almost twice as big). It sounds like nitpicking, but Charlemagne's Empire was completely different from the Holy Roman Empire in terms of politics and administration. (which is why it lasted a lot longer, but was also considerably weaker)
