The disappearance of ecclesiastical territories meant the <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Holy Roman Emperor">emperor</a> lost important political support. The end of the crippled Holy Roman Empire was foreseeable. <a href="/wiki/Francis_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor">Francis II</a> took the title of <a href="/wiki/Emperor_of_Austria" title="Emperor of Austria">Emperor of Austria</a> in 1804 to counter the loss of prestige. When the <a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Third_Coalition" title="War of the Third Coalition">War of the Third Coalition</a> broke out in 1805, with Russia, Austria and <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland" title="United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland">Great Britain</a> on the one side and France on the other, Bavaria, Baden and Wurttemberg allied with Napoleon. </p><p>After the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Austerlitz" title="Battle of Austerlitz">victory at Austerlitz</a> and the resultant <a href="/wiki/Peace_of_Pressburg_(1805)" title="Peace of Pressburg (1805)">Peace of Pressburg</a> in 1805, Napoleon could significantly reassert his position in the German states. Furthermore, Austria had to concede territory and Napoleon named his brothers <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Bonaparte" title="Joseph Bonaparte">Joseph</a> and <a href="/wiki/Louis_Bonaparte" title="Louis Bonaparte">Louis</a> kings of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Naples_(Napoleonic)" title="Kingdom of Naples (Napoleonic)">Naples</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Holland" title="Kingdom of Holland">Holland</a>, respectively, and his brother-in-law <a href="/wiki/Joachim_Murat" title="Joachim Murat">Joachim Murat</a>, <a href="/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Berg" title="Grand Duchy of Berg">Grand Duke of Berg</a>. He also worked toward establishing an alliance with Baden, Bavaria and Württemberg. Francis II had to assent to the elevation of both Bavaria and Württemberg to the rank of kingdom and Baden, <a href="/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Hesse" title="Grand Duchy of Hesse">Hesse-Darmstadt</a> and Berg to that of grand duchy. With French encouragement, the vestiges of small Imperial estates in the region were annexed. This reorganisation of the right bank of the Rhine laid the groundwork for the Confederation of the Rhine.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span

was not altogether a voluntary option for its future member states. Negotiations between France and the princes who had been selected by Napoleon to be members of the future alliance had been dragging on for the first six months of 1806 when Napoleon decided to rush things. On 12 July, the Paris envoys of the various princes were summoned to the ministry of Foreign Affairs to find themselves instructed by <a href="/wiki/Charles_Maurice_de_Talleyrand-P%C3%A9rigord" title="Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord">Talleyrand</a> to sign the treaty of the new alliance, whose terms had been decided between him and Napoleon. This caused consternation among the envoys given that the terms were far more onerous for the princes than what had been expected. They all protested that they were not empowered to sign before their masters authorized them to do so, but Talleyrand compelled them to sign then and there and so they did under duress. <a href="/wiki/Maximilian_I_Joseph_of_Bavaria" title="Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria">King Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria</a>, who alone among the princes had been sent a copy of the proposed treaty, was aghast.

Von Gravenreuth was detained long enough at the French border so that when he finally arrived in Paris all the other princes had signed. He therefore found it unadvisable to deliver the King’s views on the matter. In the words of Enno E.
