To begin his reign, the new Papal-Emperor Aegranus first needed to consolidate his formed position as Pope with that of Emperor of the Romans. Although he had already worked out all of the religious issues, there were still legal matters to attend to, most notably the reorganization of the Imperial Government. No one wanted to see another rebellion, least of all him, and it was important that the Second Roman Empire not fall victim to the first. Technically speaking though, it was still the same Roman Empire, but the public was pleased to hear that this was a new beginning and so the new name stuck within most circles.
