 DragonBear History: All That: The Holy Roman Empire
This was the Empire as it remained for the rest of the Middle Ages and Renaissance: "no longer a single state but a loose alliance of princes under the vague suzerainty of an elected king." (Sidney Painter) In fact, the first use of the full name "Holy Roman Empire" came at this point, in 1254.
Geographically, the Empire was the largest country in western Europe, but it was not a state even by feudal standards: it had no capital, no central administration, not even a royal family.
By the time Charles V was crowned in 1519, he was ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, sizable Austrian territories outside the Empire, Spain, the Netherlands, and all of southern Italy.

 Holy Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Holy Roman Empire was a mainly Germanic conglomeration of lands in Central Europe during the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
At its peak the Holy Roman Empire encompassed the territories of present-day Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Belgium, and the Netherlands as well as large parts of modern Poland, France and Italy.
For most of its existence the Empire lacked the central authority of a modern state and was more akin to a loose religious confederation, divided into numerous territories ruled by hereditary nobles, prince-bishops, knightly orders, and free cities.

 the Holy Roman Empire
Although the various princes and lords of the Empire were all his vassals and subjects, they possessed a number of privileges that brought them close to de facto sovereignty; in particular, the emperor could not intervene in their particular affairs as long as they ruled according to the law.
The Empire was an elective monarchy since the end of the Carolingian dynasty in the early 10th century, although the principle was not firmly set in writing until the constitution of 1338 and the Golden Bull of 1356 (see a picture here and the text here).
The procedures for electing a king of the Romans were identical, except that the king-elect swore not to intervene in the affairs of the Empire.

 Holy Roman Empire
Since he was crowned emperor in Rome by the pope, the name Holy Roman Empire was applied to the realms which he ruled.
Critics have pointed out that this kingdom certainly was not holy, was not Roman (it was essentially a German kingdom), and was not an empire (it was a collection of tribal duchies barely held together by the king and, now, emperor).
While the Holy Roman Empire survived until 1806 when the self-made Emperor Napoleon I of France finally abolishes it, the Empire became a weak confederation of ultimately more than 300 independent little states.
