The Holy Roman Empire: A Very Short Introduction outlines the fascinating thousand-year history of the Holy Roman Empire from 800 to 1806, and its legacy for the two centuries after its dissolution. Founded on the basis of Charlemagne’s Frankish kingdom, its imperial title went to the German monarchy that became established in the 9th and 10th centuries. They claimed Charlemagne’s legacy, including his role as protector of the papacy and guardian of the Church. Throughout its lifetime, the empire’s growth and history was shaped by the major developments in Europe, from the Reformation to the French revolutionary wars. The legal traditions established by the empire have shaped the history of German-speaking Europe ever since.
