1. holy roman empire

   The Holy Roman Empire was a multi-ethnic and complex union of territories in Western and Central Europe that existed from 800 to 1806 AD. The empire was characterized by a loose confederation of states under the nominal rule of the Holy Roman Emperor, who was traditionally elected by a group of prince-electors. The empire took its name from the idea that it was meant to be a continuation of the ancient Roman Empire and was considered "holy" due to it being sanctioned and protected by the Roman Catholic Church. The Holy Roman Empire included what are now Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Slovenia, and parts of France, Italy, and Poland.

1. Holy Roman Empire

   The Holy Roman Empire was a complex political union of territories in Central Europe existing from 962 to 1806. The empire grew out of East Francia, a primary division of the Frankish Empire, and explicitly proclaimed itself the continuation of the Western Roman Empire under the doctrine of translatio imperii. Frankish king Charlemagne was crowned as emperor by Pope Leo III in 800, restoring the title in the West after more than three centuries. The title was passed in a desultory manner during the decline and fragmentation of the Carolingian dynasty, eventually falling into abeyance. The title was revived in 962 when Otto I was crowned Holy Roman Emperor, beginning an unbroken line of emperors running for over eight centuries. The territories making up the Empire lay predominantly in Central Europe. At its peak in 1050, under Emperor Henry III, it included the Kingdom of Germany, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Kingdom of Burgundy. The Holy Roman Empire never achieved the extent of political unification formed in France, evolving instead into a decentralized, limited elective monarchy composed of hundreds of smaller sub-units, principalities, duchies, counties, Free Imperial Cities, and other domains. The power of the emperor was limited, and while the various princes, lords and kings of the Empire were his vassals and subjects, they possessed an extent of privileges that gave them de facto sovereignty within their territories.
