The authority of the Emperors in Italy and Germany was sometimes nonexistent, sometimes real.The territorial limits of the Empire varied, but it generally included Germany, Austria, Bohemia and Moravia, parts of Northern Italy, present-day Belgium, and, until 1648, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Some countries (e.g., Hungary) were ruled by the Emperor or Imperial Prince but were outside the Empire, while others (e.g., Flanders, Pomerania, Schleswig, and Holstein) were part of the Empire but were Ruled by foreign Princes who held their lands in fief from the Emperor and took part in the Imperial diet.
