Holy Roman Empire

Holy Roman Empire appears on the map from 962 to 1621. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1169, it covered about 913,708 km².

In 962 the German king Otto I was crowned emperor by the pope in Rome, renewing Charlemagne's imperial title. The resulting empire, called Holy Roman from the 12th century, joined the German lands with northern Italy and Burgundy, and later Bohemia. Its emperors were elected by leading princes, a system fixed by the Golden Bull of 1356. More about Holy Roman Empire.
