There's a reason that the Pope or his representative (as the case may
be, depending on the power of the monarch) crowned the kings of the

frank
...an act of convenience for both which began with the crowning of
Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor and gradually became pointless. BTW,
Charlemagne's mother was privately known as Bertha the Big Footed. For
reasoanbly accurate entertainment, dig up an old dirty out of print copy of
Will Cuppy's The Decline and Fall of Practically everybody.
