Talk:Holy Roman Empire (M2TW Faction)

Sorry but if they're ruled by an Emperor aren't they obviously an Empire?

True, but the dukes of the empire gradually gained autonomy, which made the title of Emperor an empty title. The duchies often fought eachother. So the HRE was perhaps more a term that is used to call the German duchies that fought eachother continiously.

Dammit I was going to try and get in here and write something ;) Masterbaker 16:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
