DragonBear History: All That: The Holy Roman Empire By the time Charles V was crowned in 1519, he was ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, sizable Austrian territories outside the Empire, Spain, the Netherlands, and all of southern Italy. Because the emperors continued to include Italy within their aspirations (besides the partnership with the Papacy and the Carolingian imperial title's passing to Italy, the wealth of the Italian city-states was a strong draw), the popes led the opposition in this secular contest, too. Other things being equal, the Electors would often prefer a son of the previous emperor, as something of a known quantity, so what developed was a series of "mini-dynasties" for a few generations at a time, changing whenever an emperor was especially unpopular or a new candidate had lot of especially rich backers. www.dragonbear.com /empire.html   (1869 words)
