How Conflict Began:
- some of the upstart powers claimed imperial authority for themselves
- In 800 C.E., Frankish ruler, Charlemagne, received a crown from the pope in Rome (which challenged Byzantine claims to imperial authority over the western lands).
- Charlemagne's empire fell
- The churches split creating a new denomination that is the Eastern Orthodox church that was split from the Roman Catholic Church.
- They happened because the pope crowned frank king as holy emperor and causing offence to the Byzantines.
