  List of Holy Roman Emperors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the coronation of Otto I, the imperial title became a prerogative of the ruler of Germany; however, while not all German rulers were crowned, the numbering of the various rulers reflects the complete list of German monarchs, so there are gaps in the sequence of ordinals in a strictly imperial list.
For instance, King Henry the Fowler was never crowned as emperor and is thus not on this list; nevertheless, his great-grandson, who was crowned, is referred to as Henry II, not Henry I. This situation changed somewhat in the early modern period.
His successor Charles V was crowned emperor by the Pope in 1530, but Ferdinand I and all his successors did not seek a papal coronation and remained emperors-elect.

 HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (German: ''Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation'', Latin ''Sacrum Romanum Imperium Nationis Germanicae,'' see ''names and designations of the empire'') was a political conglomeration of lands in Central Europe in the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
German kings had been elected since time immemorial: in the 9th century by the leaders of the five most important tribes (the Franks, Saxons, Bavarians, Swabians and Thuringians), later by the main lay and clerical dukes of the kingdom, finally only by the so-called ''Kurfürsten'' (electing dukes, electors).
The German Emperors thus thought of themselves as being in direct succession of those of the Roman Empire; this is why they initially called themselves ''Augustus.'' Still, they did not call themselves "Roman" Emperors at first, probably in order not to provoke conflict with the Roman Emperor who still existed in Constantinople.

The Merovingian chieftains adhered to the Germanic practice of dividing their lands among their sons, and the frequent division, reunification and redivision of territories often resulted in murder and warfare within the leading families.
These ideas and beliefs had their roots in a background that drew from both Roman and Germanic tradition, a tradition that began before the Carolingian ascent and continued to some extent even after the deaths of Louis the Pious and his sons.
Because the Frankish kingdom dominated Western Europe for centuries, terms derived from "Frank" were used by many in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and beyond as a synonym for Roman Christians (e.g., al-Faranj in Arabic, Feringhee or Feringhi in Hindustani, and Frangos in Greek).

Although the German central government restricted their authority, kings, dukes, and princes in Germany preserved a great deal of autonomy in the local affairs until the time of the November Revolution of 1918, which deposed all of them.
