Charlemagne reigned before Otto the Great as the Holy Roman Emperor.

Otherwise, good quiz!

i was aware of this fact but there aren't that many historical figures whose names begin on O & most people generally think of the HRE as starting with Otto.

"While earlier Frankish and Italian monarchs had been crowned as Roman emperors, the actual Holy Roman Empire is often considered to have begun with the crowning of Frederick Barbarossa who called the empire "the holy empire", however in general it is already attributed to Otto I"

-Wikipedia, List of Holy Roman Emperors
