Metternich: Success or Failure? To add insult to injury, this particular act of Napoleonic modernisation changed the title of the Habsburg Emperor from Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor, to Francis I, Emperor of the remaining Habsburg dominions. This was a particularly powerful psychological blow to the dynasty’s sense of self worth: the Habsburgs had been Holy Roman Emperors for almost all of the previous 400 years and suddenly it no longer existed. Despite the confusing nonsense of the Tsar Alexander’s so-called Holy Alliance, it was Metternich& Quadruple Alliance and the resultant Congress System that established some sort of mechanism to allow Europe& resurgent superpowers to co-ordinate their efforts to fight the revolutionary fires wherever they should start. www.users.globalnet.co.uk /~semp/metternich.htm   (2397 words)

Holy Roman Empire The Roman title of emperor, which had lapsed in western Europe in the 5th century, was revived in 800 by Pope Leo III and conferred on Charlemagne, king of the Franks. After another lapse when the Carolingian line died out, the title of emperor, or Holy Roman emperor, was borne by successive dynasties of German kings almost continuously from the mid-10th century until the abolition of the empire.
