This word began with titling of the sovereigns of the Holy Roman Empire. This word originates from the roman word imperator which means "power of the sword". After Charlemagne this term was used to denote his descendants or the heirs of the throne. But it has religious connotations and this title cannot be used until they were anointed by a coronation ceremony.
