<p>While earlier Frankish and Italian monarchs had been crowned as Roman emperors, the actual <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire" title="Holy Roman Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a> is often considered to have begun with the crowning of <a href="/wiki/Otto_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" class="mw-redirect" title="Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor">Otto I</a>, at the time <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Saxony" class="mw-redirect" title="Duke of Saxony">Duke of Saxony</a> and <a href="/wiki/King_of_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Germany">King of Germany</a>. Because the King of Germany was an elected position, being elected King of Germany was functionally a pre-requisite to being crowned Holy Roman Emperor. By the 13th century, the <a href="/wiki/Prince-elector" title="Prince-elector">Prince-electors</a> became formalized as a specific body of seven electors, consisting of three bishops and four secular princes. Through the middle 15th century, the electors chose freely from among a number of dynasties. A period of dispute during the second half of the 13th century over the kingship of Germany led to there being no emperor crowned for several decades, though this ended in 1312 with the coronation of <a href="/wiki/Henry_VII,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor">Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor</a>. The period of free election ended with the ascension of the Austrian <a href="/wiki/House_of_Habsburg" title="House of Habsburg">House of Habsburg</a>, as an unbroken line of Habsburgs held the imperial throne until the 18th century. Later a cadet branch known as the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Habsburg-Lorraine" title="House of Habsburg-Lorraine">House of Habsburg-Lorraine</a> passed it from father to son until the abolition of the Empire in 1806. Notably, from the 16th century, the Habsburgs dispensed with the requirement that emperors be crowned by the pope before exercising their office. Starting with <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor">Ferdinand I</a>, all successive emperors forwent the traditional coronation. </p> <div
