 Karl V (1500-1558)
Adrian, whom he had installed as regent, was not strong enough to suppress the revolt of the Castilian cities (comuneros) that broke out at this point.
In a battle that decided the whole campaign and placed his archenemies at his mercy, the Emperor (who had been attacked by the German princes the previous September) defeated the Protestants at Mühlberg in April 1547.
The status quo was preserved: Charles renounced his claim to Burgundy, Francis his claims to Milan and Naples.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Emperor Charles V
An agreement was reached as to how the estates of the realm should share in its government, according to a scheme called the Reichsregiment—how the expenses of the imperial chamber etc. were to be met and how the estates were to furnish the emperor military assistance in war.
In North Africa, also, and in Italy, where the Turks, the French, and some Italian States were attacking the emperor, matters became critical.
Still, as he told Aleander, Charles did not think it right to mix up his affairs with those of the pope.

 Medieval Sourcebook: The Golden Bull of Charles IV 1356
For instance the number of electors of the emperor had been fixed at seven since 1273, but it was not always clear which seven princes ere the electors.
For many centuries the German emperors had been sacrificing crown rights in Germany in order to carry out their Italian policy.
This document created the constitutional structure of late imperial Germany.

I would sooner believe a french emperor (and that is a long shot) than i would believe an incan one (which is impossible)!!
I never claimed non-Catholic countries can become HRE if there are any Catholic countries left.
And if all Catholic nations are gone, then any country can become one.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henry IV
No humiliation was spared the prematurely aging emperor, who was kept prisoner in Böckelheim by his intriguing son and compelled to abdicate, while only those elements on whom he had always relied, particularly the growing cities, stood by him.
The power and resources of the empire left behind by Conrad II, which Henry III had already materially weakened, were still further impaired by the feebleness of the queen regent, who was devoid of political ability.
This had a paralysing effect on the emperor, who passed the year 1094 inactive in Italy, while the pope became the leader of the West, in the First Crusade.

The Normans then withdrew from Rome, taking Gregory, who had gained the hatred of the Romans, with them.
He retired before the advance of Gregory’s Norman allies under Robert Guiscard, who rescued Gregory but plundered Rome.
In Germany, Henry broke (1088) the power of Herman, but his stubborn support of Clement III against Gregory’s successors made his own family turn against him because they felt he was endangering the monarchy.

The Edict of Milan legalized Christianity, but also allowed Romans religious choice.

 Holy Roman Empire
Originally allied with the papacy, the empire became involved in a long struggle with the popes for the leadership of Christian Europe between the mid-11th and the mid-13th century.
But its sovereign was usually the German king, and the German lands were always its chief component; after the mid-15th century, it was known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
Maximilian I. (reigned 1493–1519) was the first emperor not to be so crowned; his successor, Karl V., did have a papal coronation in 1530, but the custom was abandoned in the war-torn period that followed, and it was never revived.

 Frederick II, Holy Roman emperor and German king. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
With his rule the great days of the German empire ended and the rise of states in Italy began.
Promising Pope Honorius III to start on his crusade, he secured Henry’s election as German king, and thus his position as imperial successor, shortly before his own imperial coronation (1220) at Rome.
After the election (1243) of Pope Innocent IV, Frederick offered sweeping concessions to the pope and his allies, but the pope fled (1244) to Lyons, deposed Frederick at the Council of Lyons (1245), and gave the emperor’s foes the privileges of Crusaders.

 Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor
Later, it appeared opportune to the pope to support Frederick as a legitimate king to support against the Emperor Otto — whom up to that time the pope had supported.
This was observed even in his own time, although many of his contemporaries, because of his lifelong interest in Islam saw in him "the Hammer of Christianity", or at the very least a dissenter from Christendom.
After quarrelling with his father and forming an alliance with the Lombard League, he was captured by Frederick's forces and imprisoned from 1236; he died in Martirano in 1242/, probably of the consequences of an attempted suicide.

 Plinio Correa de Oliveira writes on Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor @ TraditionInAction.org
Many warriors would be more perfect warriors because they would converse with and be formed by knights who had seen Charlemagne fighting in a battle.
This was the man who fought against the unjust aggressors of the Frankish Kingdom and of the Holy Catholic Church, of which he was the defender.
Many Emperors would be more majestic and many Kings would better understand their lordship because the irradiating warmth of the presence of Charlemagne could still be felt there.(2)

When he was released, however, François I had the Parliament of Paris denounce the treaty, because it had been signed under duress.
Later in the Italian Wars, in 1527, his troops sacked Rome, causing Charles some embarrassment but enabling him to keep the Pope from annulling the marriage of Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon, who was his aunt.
Charles later signed a humiliating treaty with the Ottomans, to gain him some respite from the huge expenses of their war.

 Holy Roman Emperor: Information From Answers.com
Until 1508, the King of the Romans, who was elected by a group of princes later known as electors, became emperor when he was crowned by the pope in Rome, after which he remained king (a title with functions in feudal law).
The transfer of the Empire was, in medieval theory, referred to as translatio imperii.
The Holy Roman Emperor was, with some variation, the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, the predecessor of modern Germany, during its existence from the 10th century until its collapse in 1806.

 HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE 1
The surest means of establishing dynastic rule was for the Emperor to insure that his immediate heir was the inevitable choice of the “Electors&; by having him nominated King of the Romans in his own lifetime.
The Holy Roman, or German Empire as it should better be described, could justly claim to be the successor of the Western Roman Empire despite its later foundation.
Although the Eastern Empire of Byzantium, which expired in 1453, had enjoyed an unbroken succession from the time of Constantine the Great, its claim to jurisdiction beyond the boundaries of the western Balkans was never acknowledged.

Since Sigismund's half brother Wenceslaus, who had been deposed from the German throne in 1400, had never waived his title, there were, for a time, three rulers of Germany.
After the death of the German king and uncrowned Holy Roman Emperor Rupert in 1410, both Sigismund and his cousin, Jobst of Moravia, claimed victory in the imperial elections.
The death of Jobst (1411) and the withdrawal of Wenceslaus left Sigismund sole king and Holy Roman emperor-elect.

His kingdom was held for him by Pope Innocent III until he was of age.
His empire was frequently at war with the Papal States, so it isn't surprising the he was excommunicated - in fact, twice.
Otto of Brunswick had been elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1209; Frederick had been elected emperor by a rebellious faction who had the backing of Innocent III in 1211 at the Diet of Nuremberg, but until the debacle at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214 this was an empty honor.

Imagine what the Holy Spirit could do with 20 million converts who are there *because they have deliberately chosen to be disciples of Jesus as he reveals himself in the Catholic faith." I think that's an exciting and transformative prospect for our world.
