>The EMPEROR is crowned by his HOLINESS, the pope of ROME
the holy roman empire is roman holy and imperial and there is nothing you haters can do about it
Cuius regio, eius religio
There was already a sitting emperor in the actual real Roman Empire at that time, so the HRE is an impostor state crowned by a heretical church.

>"roman" empire
>didn't even contain Rome
Meme empire tbqh
>>280561
There is no more a meme empire in history than the HRE. It was all publicity with none of the art, science, scholarship or governance that the actual successor state of the Roman Empire maintained.
>Holy
Constant fights between the emperor and the Pope
>Roman
Only in name as any nation could claim themselves to be Roman without actually being 'Roman' (Ottomans, Russia)
>Empire
A loose term but i believe it was
>Holy
No empire is holy
>Roman
Mainly German not Roman, if you count Italians as Romans
>Empire
More like a very decentralized federation of states
The Pope in Rome was never granted the authority to anoint a successor to Rome. Basing any claim on that is a joke and a half
The only mildly accurate term is that it was an empire, due to it being ruled by an emperor.
Germanfags need to get over themselves.
