  Holy Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Holy Roman Empire, known from the 16th century also as The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (or also known as the First German Empire) was a political conglomeration of lands in Central Europe in the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
The Holy Roman Empire was an attempt to resurrect the Western Roman Empire in western Europe, which was established in 800 when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Roman Emperor on Christmas Day, though the empire and the imperial office did not become formalized for some decades.
The Reich also had two courts: the Reichshofrat (also known in English as the Aulic Council) at the court of the King/Emperor (that is, later in Vienna), and the Reichskammergericht (Imperial Chamber Court), established with the Imperial Reform of 1495.
