| | Holy Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Reich had been a very federal body from the beginning: again, as opposed to France, which had mostly been part of the Roman Empire, in the eastern parts of the Frankish kingdom, the Germanic tribes were much more independent and reluctant to cede power to a central authority. | | | After the end of World War I, the creation of the Weimar Republic, and Nazi Germany's rise, the Nazis referred to Germany as the Third Reich, counting the 1871 Empire as the second, to connect itself with an idealized past and present itself as being in continuity with ancient traditions. | | | Imperial rights had been referred to as regalia since the Investiture Controversy, but were enumerated for the first time at Roncaglia as well. |

| | Bible Study - The Holy Roman Empire |
| | The empire called itself "Roman" because it claimed succession to The Ancient Roman Empire, and "holy" because it held control over mainstream European Christianity. | | | Most historians view 962 as the beginning of what would later officially be known as the Sacrum Romanum Imperium Nationis Germanica ("the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation") - the First Reich. | | | When Otto succeeded his father Heinrich (Henry) as German king in 936, the people raised their right hand to show approval and shouted "Sieg und heil" ("victory and salvation"). |

| | Holy Roman Empire - Cunnan |
| | In some instances, popes (attempting to claim a prerogative over the Empire) withheld their sanction; in others the German princes declared their right to choose without Papl intervention. | | | Despite this Papal link, several popes found no difficulty in excommunicating Emperors, either for cause, or as a political tactic. | | | In doing so Francis extinguished what was, perhaps, the oldest political institution in his world, descending from the chaos of Rome after the battle of Actium, and preserving a title from which all meaning had long evaporated -- history as it ought to have been. |

| | The German Electors, however, chose the first Habsburg Emperors because most of their hereditary territories were outside the formal boundaries of the Empire itself. | | | 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 Empire of the Germans was founded by Charles the Great (Charlemagne), whose coronation on Christmas Day 800 gave Papal approval to the unification under his rule of France, most of modern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, part of modern Switzerland and northern Italy. |
