	Prince-elector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electors were among the princes of the Empire, but they had several privileges (in addition to electoral ones) which were disallowed to their non-electoral brethren.
		The Elector of Saxony was vicar in areas operating under Saxon law (Saxony, Westphalia, Hanover, and northern Germany), while the Elector Palatine was vicar in the remainder of the Empire (Franconia, Swabia, the Rhine, and southern Germany).
		The three spiritual electors were all Arch-Chancellors: the Archbishop of Mainz was Arch-Chancellor of Germany, the Archbishop of Trier was Arch-Chancellor of Burgundy, and the Archbishop of Cologne was Arch-Chancellor of Italy.

	Anne of Great Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anne was the last monarch of the House of Stuart; she was succeeded by a distant cousin, George I, of the House of Hanover.
		The dispute was resolved by outside events: the elder brother of Archduke Charles (whom the Whigs supported) conveniently died in 1711 and Archduke Charles then inherited Austria, Hungary and the throne of the Holy Roman Empire.
		The rest of the Spanish inheritance, however, was divided amongst various European princes; Great Britain obtained the Spanish territories of Gibraltar and Minorca.

	George I of Great Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George I, the first Hanoverian monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, was not a fluent speaker of the English language; instead, he spoke his native German, and was for this ridiculed by his British subjects.
		George I was extremely unpopular in Great Britain, especially due to his supposed inability to speak English; recent research, however, reveals that such an inability may not have existed later in his reign.
		In Great Britain, George I used the official style "George, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, etc." In some cases (especially in treaties), the formula "Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Archtreasurer and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire" was added before the phrase "etc."

	H-Net Review: Robert Beachy on The Great Elector: Frederick William of Brandenburg-Prussia
		German nationalist historians have long celebrated the seventeenth-century "Great Elector," Frederick William, for establishing the Hohenzollern dynasty and, allegedly, setting the course for Prussia's unification of Germany.
		Yet this Brandenburg ruler was dubbed the "Great Elector" already during his long reign from 1640 to 1688, and the jurist Pufendorf reinforced the nickname by publishing a biography with the same title.
		The Elector also established a formal sovereignty, first with his independence from the Holy Roman Emperor as ruler of Brandenburg (according to the terms of Westphalia), and then by prising his Prussian Duchy from the suzerainty of the Polish King at the end of the War of the North in 1660 (p.

		The original of the superiority of Great Britain over the colonies is, then, unaccounted for; and when we consider the ingenuity and pains which have lately been employed at home on this subject, we may justly conclude, that the only reason why it is not accounted for, is, that it cannot be accounted for.
		The superiority of Great Britain over the colonies ought, therefore, to be rejected; and the dependence of the colonies upon her, if it is to be construed into "an obligation to conform to the will or law of the superior state," ought, in this sense, to be rejected also.
		The connection and harmony between Great Britain and us, which it is her interest and ours mutually to cultivate, and on which her prosperity, as well as ours, so materially depends, will be better preserved by the operation of the legal prerogatives of the crown, than by the exertion of an unlimited authority by parliment.

		When The Great Elector came to power in 1640, his lands were still occupied by foreign troops and had been severely depopulated because of the war.
		After 1660, The Great Elector was preoccupied with outside threats (to the Holy Roman Empire for the most part), especially those of the French and Turks, and was involved in the standard game of shifting alliances on a frequent basis.
		Frederick (1688-1713) is said to have "lacked solid financial understanding and [the] practical administrative sense of the Great Elector" and therefore his reign is only worth noting for the fact that in 1701 he made himself King of Prussia with the full approval of the Emperor.

		Increasingly, the Elector sought to avoid specific contrats with individual commanders; progressively he curtailed the colonels' right to commission junior officers and laid the basis for a system in which all officers owed complete allegiance to the ruler as commander-in-chief of the army.
		The Great Elector's son is generally considered to have been a weak ruler, and certainly his love for ceremonial and display invited the ridicule of his subjects and dismayed the administrators of his revenues.
		Like the Great Elector, Frederick William I believed that the international position of a prince was determined entirely by the number of troops he could maintain.

		In 1640 Frederick William, the 'Great Elector' of Brandenburg, inherited a minor territory devastated by the Thirty Years War.
		He would restore its fortunes, win its independence from Poland, and build a powerful, extended state, centered on Berlin, which by the 1670s was strong enough to be chief mover in the league of protestant and imperial forces against Louis XIV.
		This long-awaited biography, the first in English for 50 years, avoids the limitation of seeing Frederick William primarily as precursor of the 'Enlightened' Frederick the Great.
