Summary

The early modern Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, usually just called “the Empire,” was a huge and complex political organization in central Europe. The emperorship was an elected office, and the emperor had the difficult task of ruling over a loose political union of mostly German and largely self-governing principalities and towns, collectively called “the imperial estates.” As a result, imperial politics cannot be neatly defined as either domestic or foreign; rather, dynastic, internal, and European considerations were closely intertwined in the politics of the emperors.
