It was absolutely Holy in that the pope crowned Charlemagne. It needed to call itself holy to maintain the mandate of God. It was Roman really only because Rome was the only empire people knew of and the Holy Roman Church blessed it. It was an Empire. Because it said so. That's really all it takes to be an empire. Other 'sovereign' rulers swore fealty to Charlemagne. Empire.

The "Holy" part came with Frederick Barbarossa 300 years after Charlememe.
