Louis calls himself "Emperor Augustus of the Romans" and demotes Basil to "Emperor of New Rome." Basil had poked fun at Louis, insisting that he was not even emperor in all of Francia, since he ruled only a small part of it, and certainly was not emperor of the Romans, but of the Franks.
Louis argued that he was emperor in all of Francia because the other Frankish kings were his kinsmen by blood.
Louis claimed that Rome, its people, and the papacy were given to the Franks by God because of their orthodox beliefs and were taken by God away from the 'Greeks', who used to be Romans when they were orthodox.

 FRANKS, ROMANS, FEUDALISM, AND DOCTRINE Part 3
However, the identity of the West Romans and of the East Romans as one indivisible nation, faithful to the Roman faith promulgated at the Roman Ecumenical Synods held in the Eastern part of the Empire, is completely lost to the historians of Germanic background, since the East Romans are consistently called "Greeks" and "Byzantines."
The attitudes of the West and East Franks toward the Papacy and the Filioque were different, the first being mild, and the second fanatically hard.
This is exactly what the East Roman Fathers mean by the Holy Spirit receiving His essence and energy from the Father through or even and (St. Gregory Palamas) the Son simultaneously with His procession or reception of His proper or individual existence of hypostasis from the Father.

Abbo of Fleury was born in the Orléanais just before the middle of the tenth century and began his literary and political education in the monastery of Fleury as a young boy.
With the death of Louis V, the last Carolingian ruler of France, Hugh Capet had himself crowned king, despite the existence of a Carolingian claimant to the throne.
In this poem, Abbo flattered Otto by his implied comparison to Constantine, while reminding him that the power of imperium also carries with it responsibilities, such as protecting the newly installed Pope Gregory V from the depredations of Italian civil wars.

Appeals from Pope Gregory III to Charles Martel himself for help against the Lombards in 739 and 740 had gone unheeded; but when Pope Stephen III travelled to meet Pepin III in 753-754, he procured Pepin's promise of help and sealed the pack by formally anointing Pepin King of the Franks.
Although soon surrounded by independent Christian states, in Britain and Ireland to the northwest, Spain in the southwest, Hungary and Poland in the east, and the Sandinavian states in the north, the Frankish kingdoms remained the central tentpole of European politics.
