HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The Holy Roman Emperor (German: Römisch-deutscher Kaiser, or "Roman-German Kaiser") is a term used by historians to denote a Middle Ages ruler who had received the title of "Emperor of the Romans" from the Pope of the Holy Roman Church, and after the 16th century, the elected monarch governing the Holy Roman Empire, a Central European union of territories in existence during the Medieval and the Early Modern period.

 

Charlemagne of the Carolingian Dynasty was the first to receive papal coronation as Emperor of the Romans.

 

Charles V was the last Holy Roman Emperor to be crowned by the Pope.

 

The final Holy Roman Emperor-elect, Francis II, abdicated in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars that saw the Empire's final dissolution.

 

The standard designation of the Holy Roman Emperor was "August Emperor of the Romans" (Romanorum Imperator Augustus).

 

When Charlemagne was crowned in 800, his was styled as "most serene Augustus, crowned by God, great and pacific emperor, governing the Roman Empire," thus constituting the elements of "Holy" and "Roman" in the imperial title.

 

The word Holy had never been used as part of that title in official documents.[1]

 

The word Roman was a reflection of the translatio imperii (transfer of rule) principle that regarded the (Germanic) Holy Roman Emperors as the inheritors of the title of Emperor of the Western Roman Empire, a title left unclaimed in the West after the death of Julius Nepos in 480.

 

Establishment of the Holy Roman Empire

 

From the time of Otto the Great (912-973) onward, much of the former Carolingian kingdom of Eastern Francia became the Holy Roman Empire.

 

The various German princes elected one of their peers as King of the Germans, after which he would be crowned as emperor by the Pope.

 

After Charles V's coronation, all succeeding emperors were legally emperors-elect due to the lack of papal coronation, but in all practical purposes they were simply called emperors.

 

Conflict with the Papacy

 

The title of Emperor (Imperator) carried with it an important role as protector of the Catholic Church.

 

As the papacy's power grew during the Middle Ages, Popes and emperors came into conflict over church administration.

 

The most well-known and bitter conflict was that known as the Investiture Controversy fought during the 11th century between Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII.

 

Succession

 

Successions to the kingship were controlled by a variety of complicated factors. Elections meant the kingship of Germany was only partially hereditary, unlike the kingship of France, although sovereignty frequently remained in a dynasty until there were no more male successors.

 

Some scholars suggest that the task of the elections was really to solve conflicts only when the dynastic rule was unclear, yet, the process meant that the prime candidate had to make concessions, by which the voters were kept on side, which were known as Wahlkapitulationen (election capitulations).

 

The Electoral council was set at seven princes (three archbishops and four secular princes) by the Golden Bull of 1356.

 

It remained so until 1648, when the settlement of the Thirty Years' War required the addition of a new elector to maintain the precarious balance between Protestant and Catholic factions in the Empire.

 

Another elector was added in 1690, and the whole college was reshuffled in 1803, a mere three years before the dissolution of the Empire.

 

After 1438, the Kings remained in the house of Habsburg and Habsburg-Lorraine, with the brief exception of one Wittelsbach, Charles VII. Maximilian I (Emperor 1508-1519) and his successors did no longer travel to Rome for being crowned Emperors by the Pope.

 

Technically, they could therefore not claim the title Emperor of the Romans, but were mere "Emperors-elect of the Romans", as Maximilian named himself in 1508 with papal approval.

 

This title was in fact used (Erwählter Römischer Kaiser), but it was somewhat forgotten that the word "erwählt" (elect) was a restriction.

 

Of all his successors, only Charles V, the immediate one, received a papal coronation. Before that date in 1530, he was called Emperor-elect too.

 

List of Emperors

 

See also: List of German monarchs

 

This list includes all emperors, whether or not they styled themselves Holy Roman Emperor.

 

There are some gaps in the tally. For example, Henry the Fowler was King of Germany but not Emperor; Emperor Henry II was numbered as his successor as German King. The Guideschi follow the numeration for the Duchy of Spoleto.

 

Western emperors before Otto the Great

 

19th century historiography claimed a continuity between the Carolingian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire.

 

This is rejected by some modern historians, who date the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire to 962[citation needed].

 

The rulers who were crowned as Emperors in the west before 962 were as follows:

Carolingian Dynasty

 

Charles I the Great (Charlemagne), 800-814

Louis I the Pious, 814-840

Guy III of Spoleto, 891-894

Lambert II of Spoleto, 894-898

 

Carolingian Dynasty

 

Arnulf of Carinthia, 896-899

Louis III the Blind, 901-905

Berengar of Friuli, 915-924

There was no emperor in the west between 924 and 962.

  

Ottonian (Saxon) Dynasty

 

Otto I the Great, 962–973

Otto II, 973–983

Otto III, 996–1002

Joseph II, 1765–1790 (emperor-elect)

Leopold II, 1790–1792 (emperor-elect)

Francis II, 1792–1806 (emperor-elect)

 

Coronation

 

The Emperor was crowned in a special ceremony, traditionally performed by the Pope in Rome, using the Imperial Regalia.

 

Without that coronation, no king, despite exercising all powers, could call himself Emperor.

 

In 1508, Pope Julius II allowed Maximilian I to use the title of Emperor without coronation in Rome, though the title was qualified as Electus Romanorum Imperator ("elected Emperor of the Romans").

 

Maximilian's successors adopted the same titulature, usually when they became the sole ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. Maximilian's first successor Charles V was the last to be crowned Emperor.

Linda's was located on 14th Street NW just south of Thomas Circle. I don't know much more about it, but I find the menu very entertaining. Who's up for some "Home Corned Tongue with Sweitzer cheese on rye bread"? Or maybe the Salami and Eggs, "pancake style" with french fries, roll, and butter? For the truly adventuresome, there's the "sensational" Linda's Surprise Club Sandwich, ingredients unspecified. Bring it on!

Astronauts from five space agencies around the world take part in ESA’s CAVES training course– Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills.

 

The three-week course prepares astronauts to work safely and effectively in multicultural teams in an environment where safety is critical.

 

As they explore caves they encounter caverns, underground lakes and strange microscopic life. They test new technology and conduct science – just as if they were living on the International Space Station.

 

The six astronauts have to rely on their own skills, teamwork and ground control to achieve their mission goals – the course is designed to foster effective communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and team dynamics.

 

The six cavenauts of this edition of CAVES are ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Jeanette Epps, Roscosmos’ cosmonaut Nikolai Chub, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Josh Kutryk and Japan’s space agency Takuya Onishi.

Artist Gottfried Lindauer was born in Pilsen, Bohemia in 1839. He arrived in New Zealand in 1874, and was naturalised on 23 July 1881.

 

Lindauer is best known for his portraits of Māori. Many of his paintings were commissioned by Auckland businessman Henry Partridge, who believed that there was an urgent need for a pictorial record of traditional Māori.

 

According to art historian Leonard Bell, Lindauer’s works remain, along with Goldie’s, “the best-known and most popular paintings of Maori in New Zealand, and among Maori are valued as memorials to ancestors and kin.”

 

The page pictured above shows Lindauer’s ‘memorial’ or application for naturalisation. Naturalisation is the process by which a non-citizen becomes a citizen of a country. Most people in New Zealand were British citizens until 1948. Up until then naturalisation gave British citizenship. From 1949 onwards, persons naturalised gained New Zealand citizenship.

 

Archives New Zealand holds naturalisation records dating from 1840, although no application files exist until after the Aliens Act 1866. Naturalisation files are restricted for 100 years from the individual's date of birth, or 40 years from their date of death, whichever is sooner.

 

The ‘Register of Persons Naturalised in New Zealand before 1949’ has been digitised, and is available via this link: ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/delivery/DeliveryManagerServle...
