 Roman Emperors - DIR Manuel II
Manuel's father, Emperor John V (1341-1391), had to deal with the crossing of the Hellespont by the Turks, who first conquered Thrace and Macedonia and in 1389 at the battle of Kossovo destroyed and conquered the Serbian Empire.
Helena Cantacuzena, the daughter of this short-reigned emperor, became the spouse of John V and mother of Manuel II, who was born in 1350 and who, following his elder brother's rebellion, in 1373 was raised by his father to the rank of co-emperor.
The Holy Roman and Byzantine empires, he said, were a single state; after the fashion of the ancient emperors one could seek helpers in both parts of it and share responsibilities.

 Emperor Franz Josef
Franz Josef was crowned Emperor of Austria in 1848 at the age of 18 after the Hungarian revolution, as his predecessor was simply deposed.
He had numerous difficulties with his nephew and heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was assassinated by Serbian nationalists on 28-Jun-1914 in Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegowina), which resulted in world war I. The aging monarch had seen The Holy Roman Empire lose its holdings in both Italy and Germany until it had become mainly an eastern European power.
Franz Josef was sensitive to these losses and was determined not to allow further decay of the empire by losing Austro-Hungarian holdings in the Balkans to Serbia.

Leopold II (born Peter Leopold Joseph) (May 5, 1747 – March 1, 1792) was the penultimate Holy Roman Emperor from 1790 to 1792 and Grand-duke of Tuscany.
