Contradicting the traditional view concerning that designation, Hermann Weisert has argued in a study on imperial titulature that, despite the claims of many textbooks, the name "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" never had an official status and points out that documents were thirty times as likely to omit the national suffix as include it.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson2006719-52">[44]</a> In a famous assessment of the name, the political philosopher <a href="/wiki/Voltaire" title="Voltaire">Voltaire</a> remarked sardonically: "This body which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor an empire."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVoltaire1773338-53">[45]</a> In the modern period, the Empire was often informally called the German Empire (Deutsches Reich) or Roman-German Empire (Römisch-Deutsches Reich).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJorioBraun2016-54">[46]</a> After its dissolution through the end of the <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">German Empire</a>, it was often called "the old Empire" (das alte Reich).

Bachrach opines that the Ottonian kings actually built their empire on the back of military and bureaucratic apparatuses as well as the cultural legacy they inherited from the Carolingians, who ultimately inherited these from the Late Roman Empire. He argues that the Ottonian empire was hardly an archaic kingdom of primitive Germans, maintained by personal relationships only and driven by the desire of the magnates to plunder and divide the rewards among themselves but instead, notable for their abilities to amass sophisticated economic, administrative, educational and cultural resources that they used to serve their enormous war machine.<a href="#cite_note-56">[48]</a><a href="#cite_note-57">[49]</a> Until the end of the 15th century, the empire was in theory composed of three major blocs – <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy_(Holy_Roman_Empire)" title="Kingdom of Italy (Holy Roman Empire)">Italy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Germany" title="Kingdom of Germany">Germany</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Arles" title="Kingdom of Arles">Burgundy</a>.

Some territories like <a href="/wiki/Savoyard_state" title="Savoyard state">Piedmont-Savoy</a> became increasingly independent, while others became more dependent due to the extinction of their ruling noble houses causing these territories to often fall under the dominions of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Habsburg" title="House of Habsburg">Habsburgs</a> and their <a href="/wiki/Cadet_branch" title="Cadet branch">cadet branches</a>.

The Hohenstaufen rulers increasingly lent land to "<a href="/wiki/Ministeriales" class="mw-redirect" title="Ministeriales">ministeriales</a>", formerly non-free servicemen, who Frederick hoped would be more reliable than dukes. Initially used mainly for war services, this new class of people would form the basis for the later <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Knight" title="Imperial Knight">knights</a>, another basis of imperial power. A further important constitutional move at Roncaglia was the establishment of a new peace mechanism for the entire empire, the <a href="/wiki/Landfrieden" title="Landfrieden">Landfrieden</a>, with the first imperial one being issued in 1103 under Henry IV at <a href="/wiki/Mainz" title="Mainz">Mainz</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESmailGibson2009-112">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEArnold1995398-113">[105]</a> This was an attempt to abolish private feuds, between the many dukes and other people, and to tie the emperor's subordinates to a legal system of jurisdiction and public prosecution of criminal acts – a predecessor of the modern concept of <a href="/wiki/Rule_of_law" title="Rule of law">rule of law</a>. Another new concept of the time was the systematic founding of new cities by the emperor and by the local dukes. These were partly a result of the explosion in population; they also concentrated economic power at strategic locations. Before this, cities had only existed in the form of old Roman foundations or older <a href="/wiki/Bishopric" class="mw-redirect" title="Bishopric">bishoprics</a>. Cities that were founded in the 12th century include <a href="/wiki/Freiburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Freiburg">Freiburg</a>, possibly the economic model for many later cities, and <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a>. Frederick Barbarossa was crowned emperor in 1155. He emphasized the "Romanness" of the empire, partly in an attempt to justify the power of the emperor independent of the (now strengthened) pope. An imperial assembly at the fields of Roncaglia in 1158 reclaimed imperial rights in reference to <a href="/wiki/Justinian_I" title="Justinian I">Justinian I</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Corpus_Juris_Civilis" title="Corpus Juris Civilis">Corpus Juris Civilis</a>. Imperial rights had been referred to as regalia since the Investiture Controversy but were enumerated for the first time at Roncaglia. This comprehensive list included public roads, tariffs, <a href="/wiki/Coining_(mint)" title="Coining (mint)">coining</a>, collecting punitive fees, and the seating and unseating of office-holders. These rights were now explicitly rooted in <a href="/wiki/Roman_law" title="Roman law">Roman law</a>, a far-reaching constitutional act. Frederick's policies were primarily directed at Italy, where he clashed with the free-minded cities of the north, especially <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Milan" title="Duchy of Milan">the Duchy of Milan</a>. He also embroiled himself in another conflict with the Papacy by supporting a candidate elected by a minority against <a href="/wiki/Pope_Alexander_III" title="Pope Alexander III">Pope Alexander III</a> (1159–1181). Frederick supported a succession of <a href="/wiki/Antipope" title="Antipope">antipopes</a> before finally making peace with Alexander in 1177. In Germany, the emperor had repeatedly protected Henry the Lion against complaints by rival princes or cities (especially in the cases of <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a> and <a href="/wiki/L%C3%BCbeck" title="Lübeck">Lübeck</a>). Henry gave only lackluster support to Frederick's policies, and, in a critical situation during the Italian wars, Henry refused the emperor's plea for military support. After returning to Germany, an embittered Frederick opened proceedings against the duke, resulting in a public ban and the confiscation of all Henry's territories. In 1190, Frederick participated in the <a href="/wiki/Third_Crusade" title="Third Crusade">Third Crusade</a>, dying in the <a href="/wiki/Armenian_Kingdom_of_Cilicia" title="Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia">Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHunyadiLaszlovszky2001129-114">[106]</a> During the Hohenstaufen period, German princes facilitated a successful, peaceful <a href="/wiki/Ostsiedlung" title="Ostsiedlung">eastward settlement</a> of lands that were uninhabited or inhabited sparsely by <a href="/wiki/West_Slavs" title="West Slavs">West Slavs</a>. German-speaking farmers, traders, and craftsmen from the western part of the Empire, both Christians and Jews, moved into these areas.

The eastward settlement expanded the influence of the empire to include <a href="/wiki/Pomerania" title="Pomerania">Pomerania</a> and <a href="/wiki/Silesia" title="Silesia">Silesia</a>, as did the intermarriage of the local, still mostly Slavic, rulers with German spouses. The <a href="/wiki/Teutonic_Knights" class="mw-redirect" title="Teutonic Knights">Teutonic Knights</a> were invited to <a href="/wiki/Prussia_(region)" title="Prussia (region)">Prussia</a> by Duke <a href="/wiki/Konrad_of_Masovia" class="mw-redirect" title="Konrad of Masovia">Konrad of Masovia</a> to Christianize the <a href="/wiki/Old_Prussians" title="Old Prussians">Prussians</a> in 1226.

Under the son and successor of Frederick Barbarossa, <a href="/wiki/Henry_VI,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor">Henry VI</a>, the Hohenstaufen dynasty reached its apex, with the addition of the Norman kingdom of Sicily through the marriage of Henry VI and <a href="/wiki/Constance_of_Sicily" class="mw-redirect" title="Constance of Sicily">Constance of Sicily</a>. Bohemia and Poland were under feudal dependence, while Cyprus and Lesser Armenia also paid homage. The Iberian-Moroccan caliph accepted his claims over the suzerainty over Tunis and Tripolitania and paid tribute. Fearing the power of Henry, the most powerful monarch in Europe since Charlemagne, the other European kings formed an alliance. But Henry broke this coalition by blackmailing English king <a href="/wiki/Richard_the_Lionheart" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard the Lionheart">Richard the Lionheart</a>. The Byzantine emperor worried that Henry would turn his Crusade plan against his empire, and began to collect the alamanikon to prepare against the expected invasion. Henry also had plans for turning the Empire into a hereditary monarchy, although this met with opposition from some of the princes and the pope. The emperor suddenly died in 1197, leading to the partial collapse of his empire.<a href="#cite_note-115">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-116">[108]</a><a href="#cite_note-117">[109]</a> As his son, <a href="/wiki/Frederick_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor">Frederick II</a>, though already elected king, was still a small child and living in Sicily, German princes chose to elect an adult king, resulting in the dual election of Frederick Barbarossa's youngest son <a href="/wiki/Philip_of_Swabia" title="Philip of Swabia">Philip of Swabia</a> and Henry the Lion's son <a href="/wiki/Otto_IV,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Otto IV, Holy Roman Emperor">Otto of Brunswick</a>, who competed for the crown.

After his victory, Frederick did not act upon his promise to keep the two realms separate. Though he had made his son Henry king of Sicily before marching on Germany, he still reserved real political power for himself. This continued after Frederick was crowned emperor in 1220. Fearing Frederick's concentration of power, the pope finally excommunicated him. Another point of contention was the Crusade, which Frederick had promised but repeatedly postponed. Now, although excommunicated, Frederick led the <a href="/wiki/Sixth_Crusade" title="Sixth Crusade">Sixth Crusade</a> in 1228, which ended in negotiations and a temporary restoration of the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Jerusalem" title="Kingdom of Jerusalem">Kingdom of Jerusalem</a>. For his many-sided activities, prestige, and dynamic personality Frederick II has been called the greatest of all the medieval German emperors.<a href="#cite_note-118">[110]</a> In the Kingdom of Sicily and much of Italy, Frederick built upon the work of his Norman predecessors and forged an early absolutist state bound together by an efficient secular bureaucracy. Despite his imperial prestige and power, Frederick II's rule was a major turning point toward the partitioning of central rule in the Empire. Since his political focus was south of the Alps, he was mostly absent from Germany and issued far-reaching privileges to Germany's secular and ecclesiastical princes to ensure their cooperation. In the 1220 <a href="/wiki/Confoederatio_cum_principibus_ecclesiasticis" title="Confoederatio cum principibus ecclesiasticis">Confoederatio cum principibus ecclesiasticis</a>, Frederick gave up a number of regalia in favour of the bishops, among them tariffs, <a href="/wiki/Coining_(mint)" title="Coining (mint)">coining</a>, and the right to build fortification. The 1232 <a href="/wiki/Statutum_in_favorem_principum" title="Statutum in favorem principum">Statutum in favorem principum</a> mostly extended these privileges to secular territories. Although many of these privileges had existed earlier, they were now granted globally, and once and for all, to allow the German princes to maintain order north of the Alps while Frederick concentrated on Italy. The 1232 document marked the first time that the German dukes were called domini terrae, owners of their lands, a remarkable change in terminology as well. the Statutum affirmed a division of labor between the emperor and the princes and laid much groundwork for the development of particularism in Germany. Even so, from 1232 the vassals of the emperor had a veto over imperial legislative decisions and any new law established by the emperor had to be approved by the princes. These provisions not withstanding, royal power in Germany remained strong under Frederick and by the 1240s the crown was still rich in fiscal resources, land holdings, retinues, and all other rights, revenues, and jurisdictions. Frederick II used the political loyalty and practical jurisdictions granted to the higher German aristocracy to impose peace, order, and justice upon Germany. The jurisdictional autarky of the German princes was favoured by the crown itself in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in the interests of order and local peace. The inevitable result was the territorial particularism of churchmen, lay princes, and interstitial cities. However, Frederick was a ruler of vast territories and "could not be everywhere at once". The transference of jurisdiction was a practical solution to secure the further support of the German princes and, moreover, was a process which had already been underway even under Henry VI and Frederick Barbarossa. It is unlikely that a particularly "strong ruler" such as Frederick II would have even pragmatically agreed to legislation that was truly concessionary rather than cooperative, neither would the princes have insisted on such.<a href="#cite_note-119">[111]</a> The Mainz Landfriede or Constitutio Pacis, decreed at the Imperial Diet of 1235, became one of the <a href="/wiki/Basic_law" title="Basic law">basic laws</a> of the empire and provided that the princes should share the burden of local government in Germany. The authority of the crown was not in question, rather its practical allocation in such a wide region which lacked a general administrative apparatus. Far from a broad diminution of royal power, the Mainz Landfriede was a constitutional recalibration based on the culmination of multi-decade political realities and a testament to Frederick II's considerable political strength, his increased prestige during the early 1230s, and sheer overpowering might that he succeeded in securing the princes' support and rebound them to Hohenstaufen power.<a href="#cite_note-120">[112]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Kingdom_of_Bohemia">Kingdom of Bohemia</h4></div> The <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Bohemia" title="Kingdom of Bohemia">Kingdom of Bohemia</a> was a significant regional power during the <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a>.

However, Conrad's death was followed by the <a href="/wiki/Interregnum" title="Interregnum">Interregnum</a>, during which no king could achieve universal recognition, allowing the princes to consolidate their holdings and become even more independent as rulers. After 1257, the crown was contested between <a href="/wiki/Richard_of_Cornwall" title="Richard of Cornwall">Richard of Cornwall</a>, who was supported by the <a href="/wiki/Guelphs_and_Ghibellines" title="Guelphs and Ghibellines">Guelph party</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Alfonso_X_of_Castile" title="Alfonso X of Castile">Alfonso X of Castile</a>, who was recognized by the Hohenstaufen party but never set foot on German soil. After Richard's death in 1273, <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_I_of_Germany" title="Rudolf I of Germany">Rudolf I of Germany</a>, a minor pro-Hohenstaufen count, was elected. He was the first of the <a href="/wiki/Habsburgs" class="mw-redirect" title="Habsburgs">Habsburgs</a> to hold a royal title, but he was never crowned emperor. After Rudolf's death in 1291, <a href="/wiki/Adolf,_King_of_the_Romans" title="Adolf, King of the Romans">Adolf</a> and <a href="/wiki/Albert_I_of_Germany" title="Albert I of Germany">Albert</a> were two further weak kings who were never crowned emperor. Albert was assassinated in 1308. Almost immediately, King <a href="/wiki/Philip_IV_of_France" title="Philip IV of France">Philip IV of France</a> began aggressively seeking support for his brother, <a href="/wiki/Charles_of_Valois" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles of Valois">Charles of Valois</a>, to be elected the next king of the Romans. Philip thought he had the backing of the French Pope, <a href="/wiki/Clement_V" class="mw-redirect" title="Clement V">Clement V</a> (established at Avignon in 1309), and that his prospects of bringing the empire into the orbit of the French royal house were good. He lavishly spread French money in the hope of bribing the German electors. Although Charles of Valois had the backing of pro-French <a href="/wiki/Heinrich_II_of_Virneburg" title="Heinrich II of Virneburg">Henry, Archbishop of Cologne</a>, many were not keen to see an expansion of French power, least of all Clement V. The principal rival to Charles appeared to be Count Palatine <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_II,_Count_Palatine_of_the_Rhine" title="Rudolf II, Count Palatine of the Rhine">Rudolf II</a>. But the electors, the great territorial magnates who had lived without a crowned emperor for decades, were unhappy with both Charles and Rudolf.

Though a vassal of King Philip, Henry was bound by few national ties, and thus suitable as a compromise candidate. Henry VII was crowned king at Aachen on 6 January 1309, and emperor by Pope Clement V on 29 June 1312 in Rome, ending the interregnum. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Changes_in_political_structure">Changes in political structure</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Medieval_commune" title="Medieval commune">Medieval commune</a>, <a href="/wiki/League_of_cities" title="League of cities">League of cities</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hanseatic_League" title="Hanseatic League">Hanseatic League</a>, <a href="/wiki/Swabian_League_of_Cities" title="Swabian League of Cities">Swabian League of Cities</a>, <a href="/wiki/Imperial_immediacy" title="Imperial immediacy">Imperial immediacy</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Feudalism_in_the_Holy_Roman_Empire" title="Feudalism in the Holy Roman Empire">Feudalism in the Holy Roman Empire</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches.jpg/220px-Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="163" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches.jpg/330px-Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches.jpg/440px-Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2179" data-file-height="1612" /></a><figcaption>An illustration from <a href="/wiki/Nuremberg_Chronicle" title="Nuremberg Chronicle">Schedelsche Weltchronik</a> depicting the structure of the Reich: The Holy Roman Emperor is sitting; on his right are three ecclesiastics; on his left are four secular electors.</figcaption></figure> During the 13th century, a general structural change in how land was administered prepared the shift of political power toward the rising <a href="/wiki/Bourgeoisie" title="Bourgeoisie">bourgeoisie</a> at the expense of the aristocratic <a href="/wiki/Feudalism" title="Feudalism">feudalism</a> that would characterize the <a href="/wiki/Late_Middle_Ages" title="Late Middle Ages">Late Middle Ages</a>.

The concept of <a href="/wiki/Property" title="Property">property</a> began to replace more ancient forms of jurisdiction, although they were still very much tied together. In the territories (not at the level of the Empire), power became increasingly bundled: whoever owned the land had jurisdiction, from which other powers derived. Jurisdiction at the time did not include legislation, which was virtually nonexistent until well into the 15th century. Court practice heavily relied on traditional customs or rules described as customary. During this time, territories began to transform into the predecessors of modern states. The process varied greatly among the various lands and was most advanced in those territories that were almost identical to the lands of the old Germanic tribes, e.g., Bavaria. It was slower in those scattered territories that were founded through imperial privileges. In the 12th century the <a href="/wiki/Hanseatic_League" title="Hanseatic League">Hanseatic League</a> established itself as a commercial and defensive alliance of the merchant <a href="/wiki/Guild" title="Guild">guilds</a> of towns and cities in the empire and all over northern and central Europe.

Each of the affiliated cities retained the legal system of its sovereign and, with the exception of the <a href="/wiki/Free_imperial_city" title="Free imperial city">Free imperial cities</a>, had only a limited degree of political autonomy. By the late 14th century, the powerful league enforced its interests with military means, if necessary. This culminated in <a href="/wiki/Second_Danish-Hanseatic_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second Danish-Hanseatic War">a war</a> with the sovereign Kingdom of Denmark from 1361 to 1370.

This development probably best symbolizes the emerging duality between emperor and realm (Kaiser und Reich), which were no longer considered identical. The Golden Bull also set forth the system for election of the Holy Roman Emperor. The emperor now was to be elected by a majority rather than by consent of all seven electors. For electors the title became hereditary, and they were given the right to mint coins and to exercise jurisdiction. Also it was recommended that their sons learn the imperial languages – <a href="/wiki/German_language" title="German language">German</a>, <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Italian_language" title="Italian language">Italian</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Czech_language" title="Czech language">Czech</a>.<a href="#cite_note-GoldenBull-127">[j]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEŽůrek2014-18">[16]</a> The decision by Charles IV is the subject of debates: on one hand, it helped to restore peace in the lands of the Empire, that had been engulfed in civil conflicts after the end of the Hohenstaufen era; on the other hand, the "blow to central authority was unmistakable".<a href="#cite_note-128">[118]</a> Thomas Brady Jr. opines that Charles IV's intention was to end contested royal elections (from the Luxembourghs' perspective, they also had the advantage that the King of Bohemia had a permanent and preeminent status as one of the Electors himself).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrady200973-129">[119]</a><a href="#cite_note-130">[120]</a> At the same time, he built up Bohemia as the Luxembourghs' core land of the Empire and their dynastic base. His reign in Bohemia is often considered the land's Golden Age. According to Brady Jr. though, under all the glitter, one problem arose: the government showed an inability to deal with the German immigrant waves into Bohemia, thus leading to religious tensions and persecutions. The imperial project of the Luxembourgh halted under Charles's son <a href="/wiki/Wenceslaus_IV_of_Bohemia" title="Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia">Wenceslaus</a> (reigned 1378–1419 as King of Bohemia, 1376–1400 as King of the Romans), who also faced opposition from 150 local baronial families.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrady200973,_74-131">[121]</a> The shift in power away from the emperor is also revealed in the way the post-Hohenstaufen kings attempted to sustain their power. Earlier, the Empire's strength (and finances) greatly relied on the Empire's own lands, the so-called <a href="/w/index.php?title=Reichsgut&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Reichsgut (page does not exist)">Reichsgut</a>, which always belonged to the king of the day and included many Imperial Cities. After the 13th century, the relevance of the Reichsgut faded, even though some parts of it did remain until the Empire's end in 1806. Instead, the Reichsgut was increasingly pawned to local dukes, sometimes to raise money for the Empire, but more frequently to reward faithful duty or as an attempt to establish control over the dukes. The direct governance of the Reichsgut no longer matched the needs of either the king or the dukes. The kings beginning with <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_I_of_Germany" title="Rudolf I of Germany">Rudolf I of Germany</a> increasingly relied on the lands of their respective dynasties to support their power. In contrast with the Reichsgut, which was mostly scattered and difficult to administer, these territories were relatively compact and thus easier to control. In 1282, Rudolf I thus lent Austria and <a href="/wiki/Styria_(duchy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Styria (duchy)">Styria</a> to his own sons. In 1312, <a href="/wiki/Henry_VII,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor">Henry VII</a> of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Luxembourg" title="House of Luxembourg">House of Luxembourg</a> was crowned as the first Holy Roman Emperor since Frederick II. After him all kings and emperors relied on the lands of their own family (Hausmacht): <a href="/wiki/Louis_IV,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor">Louis IV</a> of <a href="/wiki/Wittelsbach" class="mw-redirect" title="Wittelsbach">Wittelsbach</a> (king 1314, emperor 1328–1347) relied on his lands in Bavaria; <a href="/wiki/Charles_IV,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor">Charles IV</a> of Luxembourg, the grandson of Henry VII, drew strength from his own lands in Bohemia. It was thus increasingly in the king's own interest to strengthen the power of the territories, since the king profited from such a benefit in his own lands as well. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Imperial_Reform">Imperial Reform</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Reform" title="Imperial Reform">Imperial Reform</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hans_Burgkmair_d._%C3%84._005.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Hans_Burgkmair_d._%C3%84._005.jpg/170px-Hans_Burgkmair_d._%C3%84._005.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="259" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Hans_Burgkmair_d._%C3%84._005.jpg/255px-Hans_Burgkmair_d._%C3%84._005.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Hans_Burgkmair_d._%C3%84._005.jpg/340px-Hans_Burgkmair_d._%C3%84._005.jpg 2x" data-file-width="964" data-file-height="1467" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Holy Roman Emperor">Holy Roman Emperor</a> <a href="/wiki/Frederick_III,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor">Fredrick III</a></figcaption></figure> The "constitution" of the Empire still remained largely unsettled at the beginning of the 15th century.

The "<a href="/wiki/Robber_baron_(feudalism)" title="Robber baron (feudalism)">robber baron</a>" (Raubritter) became a social factor.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhaley2011278-132">[122]</a> Simultaneously, the Catholic Church experienced crises of its own, with wide-reaching effects in the Empire.

The medieval idea of unifying all <a href="/wiki/Christendom" title="Christendom">Christendom</a> into a single political entity, with the Church and the Empire as its leading institutions, began to decline. With these drastic changes, much discussion emerged in the 15th century about the Empire itself. Rules from the past no longer adequately described the structure of the time, and a reinforcement of earlier Landfrieden was urgently needed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHardy2018-133">[123]</a> The vision for a simultaneous reform of the Empire and the Church on a central level began with <a href="/wiki/Sigismund,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor">Sigismund</a> (reigned 1433–1437, King of the Romans since 1411), who, according to historian Thomas Brady Jr., "possessed a breadth of vision and a sense of grandeur unseen in a German monarch since the thirteenth century". But external difficulties, self-inflicted mistakes and the extinction of the Luxembourg male line made this vision unfulfilled.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrady200975–81-134">[124]</a> <a href="/wiki/Frederick_III,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor">Frederick III</a> was the first Habsburg to be crowned Holy Roman Emperor, in 1452.<a href="#cite_note-135">[125]</a> He had been very careful regarding the reform movement in the empire. For most of his reign, he considered reform as a threat to his imperial prerogatives. He avoided direct confrontations, which might lead to humiliation if the princes refused to give way.<a href="#cite_note-136">[126]</a> After 1440, the reform of the Empire and Church was sustained and led by local and regional powers, particularly the territorial princes.<a href="#cite_note-137">[127]</a> In his last years, he felt more pressure on taking action from a higher level. <a href="/wiki/Berthold_von_Henneberg" title="Berthold von Henneberg">Berthold von Henneberg</a>, the Archbishop of Mainz, who spoke on behalf of reform-minded princes (who wanted to reform the Empire without strengthening the imperial hand), capitalized on Frederick's desire to secure the imperial election for his son <a href="/wiki/Maximilian_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor">Maximilian</a>. Thus, in his last years, he presided over the initial phase of Imperial Reform, which would mainly unfold under his Maximilian. Maximilian himself was more open to reform, although naturally he also wanted to preserve and enhance imperial prerogatives. After Frederick retired to Linz in 1488, as a compromise, Maximilian acted as mediator between the princes and his father. When he attained sole rule after Frederick's death, he would continue this policy of brokerage, acting as the impartial judge between options suggested by the princes.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201679-138">[128]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrady2009104–106-42">[35]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Creation_of_institutions">Creation of institutions</h5></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Innsbruck_-_painting_of_Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Innsbruck_-_painting_of_Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer.jpg/300px-Innsbruck_-_painting_of_Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="201" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Innsbruck_-_painting_of_Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer.jpg/450px-Innsbruck_-_painting_of_Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Innsbruck_-_painting_of_Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer.jpg/600px-Innsbruck_-_painting_of_Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer.jpg 2x" data-file-width="956" data-file-height="640" /></a><figcaption>Innsbruck, most important political centre under Maximilian,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPavlacLott2019249-9">[8]</a> seat of the Hofkammer (Court Treasury) and the Court Chancery, which functioned as "the most influential body in Maximilian's government".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrady2009211-8">[7]</a> Painting of Albrecht Dürer (1496)</figcaption></figure> Major measures for the Reform were launched at the <a href="/wiki/1495_Reichstag" class="mw-redirect" title="1495 Reichstag">1495 Reichstag</a> at <a href="/wiki/Worms,_Germany" title="Worms, Germany">Worms</a>.

In Italian and Hanseatic cities like Genoa and Pisa, Hamburg and Lübeck, warrior-merchants appeared and pioneered raiding-and-trading maritime empires. These practices declined before 1500, but they managed to spread to the maritime periphery in Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and England, where they "provoked emulation in grander, oceanic scale".<a href="#cite_note-185">[175]</a> William Thompson agrees with M.N. Pearson that this distinctively European phenomenon happened because in the Italian and Hanseatic cities which lacked resources and were "small in size and population", the rulers (whose social status was not much higher than the merchants) had to pay attention to trade. Thus the warrior-merchants gained the state's coercive powers, which they could not gain in Mughal or other Asian realms – whose rulers had few incentives to help the merchant class, as they controlled considerable resources and their revenue was land-bound.<a href="#cite_note-186">[176]</a> In the 1450s, the economic development in Southern Germany gave rise to banking empires, cartels and monopolies in cities such as <a href="/wiki/Ulm" title="Ulm">Ulm</a>, <a href="/wiki/Regensburg" title="Regensburg">Regensburg</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Augsburg" title="Augsburg">Augsburg</a>. <a href="/wiki/Augsburg" title="Augsburg">Augsburg</a> in particular, associated with the reputation of the <a href="/wiki/Fugger" class="mw-redirect" title="Fugger">Fugger</a>, <a href="/wiki/Welser" class="mw-redirect" title="Welser">Welser</a> and Baumgartner families, is considered the capital city of early capitalism.<a href="#cite_note-187">[177]</a><a href="#cite_note-188">[178]</a> Augsburg benefitted majorly from the establishment and expansion of the <a href="/wiki/Kaiserliche_Reichspost" title="Kaiserliche Reichspost">Kaiserliche Reichspost</a> in the late 15th and early 16th century.<a href="#cite_note-Metzig-170">[160]</a><a href="#cite_note-Meinel_2014_31-169">[159]</a> Even when the Habsburg empire began to extend to other parts of Europe, Maximilian's loyalty to Augsburg, where he conducted a lot of his endeavours, meant that the imperial city became "the dominant centre of early capitalism" of the 16th century, and "the location of the most important post office within the Holy Roman Empire". From Maximilian's time, as the "terminuses of the first transcontinental post lines" began to shift from <a href="/wiki/Innsbruck" title="Innsbruck">Innsbruck</a> to <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a> and from <a href="/wiki/Brussels" title="Brussels">Brussels</a> to <a href="/wiki/Antwerp" title="Antwerp">Antwerp</a>, in these cities, the communication system and the news market started to converge. As the Fuggers as well as other trading companies based their most important branches in these cities, these traders gained access to these systems as well.<a href="#cite_note-189">[179]</a> The 1557, 1575 and 1607 bankruptcies of the Spanish branch of the Habsburgs though damaged the Fuggers substantially. Moreover, "Discovery of water routes to India and the New World shifted the focus of European economic development from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic – emphasis shifted from Venice and Genoa to Lisbon and Antwerp. Eventually American mineral developments reduced the importance of Hungarian and Tyrolean mineral wealth.

On the eastern front, the Turks continued to loom large as a threat, although war would mean further compromises with the Protestant princes, and so the Emperor sought to avoid it. In the west, the Rhineland increasingly fell under French influence. After the Dutch revolt against Spain erupted, the Empire remained neutral, de facto allowing the Netherlands to depart the empire in 1581. A side effect was the <a href="/wiki/Cologne_War" title="Cologne War">Cologne War</a>, which ravaged much of the upper Rhine. Emperor <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_III,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor">Ferdinand III</a> formally accepted Dutch neutrality in 1653, a decision ratified by the Reichstag in 1728. After Ferdinand died in 1564, his son <a href="/wiki/Maximilian_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor">Maximilian II</a> became Emperor, and like his father accepted the existence of Protestantism and the need for occasional compromise with it. Maximilian was succeeded in 1576 by <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor">Rudolf II</a>, who preferred <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greek_philosophy" title="Ancient Greek philosophy">classical Greek philosophy</a> to Christianity and lived an isolated existence in Bohemia. He became afraid to act when the Catholic Church was forcibly reasserting control in Austria and Hungary, and the Protestant princes became upset over this. Imperial power sharply deteriorated by the time of Rudolf's death in 1612. When Bohemians rebelled against the Emperor, the immediate result was the series of conflicts known as the <a href="/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War" title="Thirty Years' War">Thirty Years' War</a> (1618–1648), which devastated the empire. Foreign powers, including France and Sweden, intervened in the conflict and strengthened those fighting the Imperial power, but also seized considerable territory for themselves. Accordingly, the empire could never return to its former glory, leading <a href="/wiki/Voltaire" title="Voltaire">Voltaire</a> to make his infamous quip that the Holy Roman Empire was "neither Holy nor Roman nor an Empire."<a href="#cite_note-204">[194]</a> Still, its actual end did not come for two centuries.

More recent estimates use less outdated criteria, but they remain guesswork. One estimate based on the frontiers of Germany in 1870 gives a population of some 15–17 million around 1600, declined to 10–13 million around 1650 (following the Thirty Years' War). Other historians who work on estimates of the population of the early modern Empire suggest the population declined from 20 million to some 16–17 million by 1650.<a

Anabaptism came in a variety of denominations, including <a href="/wiki/Mennonites" title="Mennonites">Mennonites</a>, <a href="/wiki/Schwarzenau_Brethren" title="Schwarzenau Brethren">Schwarzenau Brethren</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hutterites" title="Hutterites">Hutterites</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Amish" title="Amish">Amish</a>, and multiple other groups. Following the Peace of Augsburg, the official religion of a territory was determined by the principle <a href="/wiki/Cuius_regio,_eius_religio" title="Cuius regio, eius religio">cuius regio, eius religio</a> according to which a ruler's religion determined that of his subjects. The Peace of Westphalia abrogated that principle by stipulating that the official religion of a territory was to be what it had been on 1 January 1624, considered to have been a "normal year". Henceforth, the conversion of a ruler to another faith did not entail the conversion of his subjects.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhaley2012a624–625-228">[213]</a> In addition, all Protestant subjects of a Catholic ruler and vice versa were guaranteed the rights that they had enjoyed on that date. While the adherents of a territory's official religion enjoyed the right of public worship, the others were allowed the right of private worship (in chapels without either spires or bells). In theory, no one was to be discriminated against or excluded from commerce, trade, craft or public burial on grounds of religion. For the first time, the permanent nature of the division between the Christian churches of the empire was more or less assumed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhaley2012a624–625-228">[213]</a> A <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Germany#In_the_Holy_Roman_Empire" title="History of the Jews in Germany">Jewish minority</a> existed in the Holy Roman Empire.

There were also some areas ruled directly by the Emperor. From the <a href="/wiki/High_Middle_Ages" title="High Middle Ages">High Middle Ages</a> onwards, the Holy Roman Empire was marked by an uneasy coexistence with the princes of the local territories who were struggling to take <a href="/wiki/Power_(sociology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Power (sociology)">power</a> away from it. To a greater extent than in other medieval kingdoms such as <a href="/wiki/France_in_the_Middle_Ages" title="France in the Middle Ages">France</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_England" title="Kingdom of England">England</a>, the emperors were unable to gain much control over the lands that they formally owned. Instead, to secure their own position from the threat of being deposed, emperors were forced to grant more and more autonomy to local rulers, both nobles and bishops. This process began in the 11th century with the <a href="/wiki/Investiture_Controversy" title="Investiture Controversy">Investiture Controversy</a> and was more or less concluded with the 1648 <a href="/wiki/Peace_of_Westphalia" title="Peace of Westphalia">Peace of Westphalia</a>.

At the same time the lands ruled by the electors of Saxony, Bavaria, and Brandenburg (prior to the acquisition of Prussia) were all close to 40,000 km2 (15,000 sq mi); the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Brunswick-L%C3%BCneburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg">Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg</a> (later the Elector of Hanover) had a territory around the same size. These were the largest of the German realms. The Elector of the Palatinate had significantly less at 20,000 km2 (7,700 sq mi), and the ecclesiastical Electorates of Mainz, Cologne, and Trier were much smaller, with around 7,000 km2 (2,700 sq mi).

In the Holy Roman Empire, the main dukes and bishops of the kingdom elected the King of the Romans. The imperial throne was transferred by election, but Emperors often ensured their own sons were elected during their lifetimes, enabling them to keep the crown for their families. This only changed after the end of the Salian dynasty in the 12th century. In 1356, Emperor <a href="/wiki/Charles_IV,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor">Charles IV</a> issued the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Bull_of_1356" title="Golden Bull of 1356">Golden Bull</a>, which limited the <a href="/wiki/Prince-elector" title="Prince-elector">electors</a> to seven: the <a href="/wiki/King_of_Bohemia" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Bohemia">King of Bohemia</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Count_Palatine_of_the_Rhine" class="mw-redirect" title="Count Palatine of the Rhine">Count Palatine of the Rhine</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Saxony" class="mw-redirect" title="Duke of Saxony">Duke of Saxony</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Margrave_of_Brandenburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Margrave of Brandenburg">Margrave of Brandenburg</a>, and the archbishops of <a href="/wiki/Electorate_of_Cologne" title="Electorate of Cologne">Cologne</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mainz" title="Mainz">Mainz</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Trier" title="Trier">Trier</a>. During the <a href="/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War" title="Thirty Years' War">Thirty Years' War</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Bavaria" class="mw-redirect" title="Duke of Bavaria">Duke of Bavaria</a> was given the right to vote as the eighth elector, and the <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Brunswick-L%C3%BCneburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg">Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg</a> (colloquially, Hanover) was granted a ninth electorate; additionally, the Napoleonic Wars resulted in several electorates being reallocated, but these new electors never voted before the Empire's dissolution. A candidate for election would be expected to offer concessions of land or money to the electors in order to secure their vote. After being elected, the King of the Romans could theoretically claim the title of "Emperor" only after being crowned by the <a href="/wiki/Pope" title="Pope">Pope</a>. In many cases, this took several years while the King was held up by other tasks: frequently he first had to resolve conflicts in rebellious northern Italy or was quarreling with the Pope himself. Later Emperors dispensed with the papal coronation altogether, being content with the styling Emperor-Elect: the last Emperor to be crowned by the Pope was <a href="/wiki/Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor">Charles V</a> in 1530. The Emperor had to be male and of noble blood. No law required him to be a Catholic, but as the majority of the Electors adhered to this faith, no Protestant was ever elected. Whether and to what degree he had to be German was disputed among the Electors, contemporary experts in constitutional law, and the public. During the Middle Ages, some Kings and Emperors were not of German origin, but since the Renaissance, German heritage was regarded as vital for a candidate in order to be eligible for imperial office.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHirschi2005393–399-235">[217]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Imperial_Diet_(Reichstag)">Imperial Diet (Reichstag)</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Diet_(Holy_Roman_Empire)" title="Imperial Diet (Holy Roman Empire)">Imperial Diet (Holy Roman Empire)</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Balduineum_Wahl_Heinrich_VII.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Balduineum_Wahl_Heinrich_VII.jpg/220px-Balduineum_Wahl_Heinrich_VII.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="158" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Balduineum_Wahl_Heinrich_VII.jpg/330px-Balduineum_Wahl_Heinrich_VII.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Balduineum_Wahl_Heinrich_VII.jpg/440px-Balduineum_Wahl_Heinrich_VII.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1446" data-file-height="1037" /></a><figcaption>The Seven <a href="/wiki/Prince-elector" title="Prince-elector">Prince-electors</a> (<a href="/wiki/Codex_Balduini_Trevirorum" class="mw-redirect" title="Codex Balduini Trevirorum">Codex Balduini Trevirorum</a>, <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1340)</figcaption></figure> The Imperial Diet (Reichstag, or Reichsversammlung) was not a legislative body as is understood today, as its members envisioned it to be more like a central forum, where it was more important to negotiate than to decide.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMalettke200122-236">[218]</a> The Diet was theoretically superior to the emperor himself. It was divided into three classes. The first class, the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Electors" class="mw-redirect" title="Council of Electors">Council of Electors</a>, consisted of the electors, or the princes who could vote for King of the Romans. The second class, the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Princes" class="mw-redirect" title="Council of Princes">Council of Princes</a>, consisted of the other princes. The Council of Princes was divided into two "benches", one for secular rulers and one for ecclesiastical ones. Higher-ranking princes had individual votes, while lower-ranking princes were grouped into "colleges" by geography. Each college had one vote. The third class was the Council of Imperial Cities, which was divided into two colleges: <a href="/wiki/Swabia" title="Swabia">Swabia</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Rhine" title="Rhine">Rhine</a>. The Council of Imperial Cities was not fully equal with the others; it could not vote on several matters such as the admission of new territories. The representation of the Free Cities at the Diet had become common since the late Middle Ages.

Marriage and inheritance strategies, following by (usually defensive) warfare, played a great role both for the Luxemburgs and the Habsburgs. It was under <a href="/wiki/Sigismund,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor">Sigismund of the Luxemburg</a>, who married <a href="/wiki/Mary,_Queen_of_Hungary" title="Mary, Queen of Hungary">Mary, Queen regnal and the rightful heir of Hungary</a> and later consolidated his power with the marriage to the capable and well-connected noblewoman <a href="/wiki/Barbara_of_Cilli" title="Barbara of Cilli">Barbara of Cilli</a>,<a href="#cite_note-266">[248]</a> that the emperor's personal empire expanded to a kingdom outside the boundary of the Holy Roman Empire: Hungary. This last monarch of the Luxemburg dynasty (who wore four royal crowns) had managed to gain an empire almost comparable in scale to the later Habsburg empire, although at the same time they lost the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Burgundy" title="Kingdom of Burgundy">Kingdom of Burgundy</a> and control over Italian territories. The Luxemburgs' focus on the East, especially Hungary, allowed the new Burgundian rulers from the Valois dynasty to foster discontent among German princes. Thus, the Habsburgs were forced to refocus their attention on the West. Frederick III's cousin and predecessor, <a href="/wiki/Albert_II_of_Germany" title="Albert II of Germany">Albert II of Germany</a> (who was Sigismund's son-in-law and heir through his marriage with <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_of_Luxembourg" title="Elizabeth of Luxembourg">Elizabeth of Luxembourg</a>) had managed to combine the crowns of Germany, Hungary, Bohemia and Croatia under his rule, but he died young.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhaley2012a18–19-267">[249]</a><a href="#cite_note-268">[250]</a><a href="#cite_note-269">[251]</a> During his rule, Maximilian I had a double focus on both the East and the West.

Peter Wilson argues that the institutions and structures developed by the <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Reform" title="Imperial Reform">Imperial Reform</a> mostly served German lands and, although the Habsburg monarchy "remained closely entwined with the Empire", the Habsburgs deliberately refrained from including their other territories in its framework. "Instead, they developed their own institutions to manage what was, effectively, a parallel dynastic-territorial empire and which gave them an overwhelming superiority of resources, in turn allowing them to retain an almost unbroken grip on the imperial title over the next three centuries."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson2016ii-276">[258]</a> Ferdinand had an interest in keeping Bohemia separate from imperial jurisdiction and making the connection between Bohemia and the Empire looser (Bohemia did not have to pay taxes to the Empire). As he refused the rights of an Imperial Elector as King of Bohemia (which provided him with half of his revenue<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEvans200682-277">[259]</a>), he was able to give Bohemia (as well as associated territories such as Upper and Lower Alsatia, Silesia and Moravia) the same privileged status as Austria, therefore affirming his superior position in the Empire.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhaley2011370-173">[163]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEvansWilson2012[httpsbooksgooglecombooksidrSON55zorLsCpgPA126_126]-278">[260]</a> The Habsburgs also tried to mobilize imperial aid for Hungary (which, throughout the 16th century, cost the dynasty more money in defence expenditure than the total revenue it yielded).<a href="#cite_note-279">[261]</a> Since 1542, Charles V and Ferdinand had been able to collect the Common Penny tax, or Türkenhilfe (Turkish aid), designed to protect the Empire against the Ottomans or France. But as Hungary, unlike Bohemia, was not part of the Empire, the imperial aid for Hungary depended on political factors. The obligation was only in effect if Vienna or the Empire were threatened.<a href="#cite_note-Tracy_163-139">[129]</a><a href="#cite_note-280">[262]</a><a href="#cite_note-281">[263]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto-140">[130]</a> Wilson notes that, "In the early 1520s the Reichstag hesitated to vote aid for Hungary's King Louis II, because it regarded him as a foreign prince. This changed once Hungary passed to the Habsburgs on Louis' death in battle in 1526 and the main objective of imperial taxation across the next 90 years was to subsidize the cost of defending the Hungarian frontier against the Ottomans. The bulk of the weaponry and other military materiel was supplied by firms based in the Empire and financed by German banks. The same is true of the troops who eventually evicted the Ottomans from Hungary between 1683 and 1699. The imperial law code of 1532 was used in parts of Hungary until the mid-17th century, but otherwise Hungary had its own legal system and did not import Austrian ones. Hungarian nobles resisted the use of Germanic titles like Graf for count until 1606, and very few acquired the personal status of imperial prince."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson2016ii–IA30-282">[264]</a> Responding to the opinion that the Habsburg's dynastic concerns were damaging to the Holy Roman Empire, Whaley writes that, "There was no fundamental incompatibility between dynasticism and participation in the empire, either for the Habsburgs or for the Saxons or others."<a href="#cite_note-283">[265]</a> Imperial marriage strategies had double-edged effects for the Holy Roman Empire though. The Spanish connection was an example: while it provided a powerful partner in the defence of Christendom against the Ottomans, it allowed <a href="/wiki/Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor">Charles V</a> to transfer the <a href="/wiki/Burgundian_Netherlands" title="Burgundian Netherlands">Burgundian Netherlands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Franche-Comte" class="mw-redirect" title="Franche-Comte">Franche-Comte</a> as well as other imperial fiefs such as <a href="/wiki/Milan" title="Milan">Milan</a> to his son <a href="/wiki/Philip_II_of_Spain" title="Philip II of Spain">Philip II</a>'s Spanish Empire.<a href="#cite_note-284">[266]</a><a href="#cite_note-285">[267]</a> Other than the imperial families, other German princes possessed foreign lands as well, and foreign rulers could also acquire imperial fiefs and thus become imperial princes. This phenomenon contributed to the fragmentation of sovereignty, in which imperial vassals remained semi-sovereign, while strengthening the interconnections (and chances of mutual interference) between the Kingdom of Germany and the Empire in general with other kingdoms such as Denmark and Sweden, who accepted the status of imperial vassals on behalf of their German possessions (which were subjected to imperial laws). The two Scandinanvian monarchies honoured the obligations to come to the aid of the Empire in the wars of 17th and early 18th centuries. They also imported German princely families as rulers, although in both cases, this did not produce direct unions. Denmark consistently tried to take advantage of its influence in imperial institutions to gain new imperial fiefs along the <a href="/wiki/Elbe" title="Elbe">Elbe</a>, although these attempts generally did not succeed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson2016ii–IA29-286">[268]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2></div> <style
