| | The King of Bohemia held the office of the Arch-Cupbearer, the Elector Palatine that of Arch-Steward, the Elector of Saxony that of Arch-Marshal, and the Elector of Brandenburg that of Arch-Chamberlain. | | | More often, an electoral suite or embassy was sent to cast the vote; the credentials of such representatives were verified by the Archbishop of Mainz, who presided over the ceremony. | | | By the thirteenth century, the Frankish and Swabian ducal lines became extinct; their electoral claims passed to the Count Palatine of the Rhine and the Margrave of Brandenburg. |
