Holy Roman Empire Minor States

The Holy Roman Empire was a large and complex polity comprising and controlling much of Northern, Central and Western Europe, headed by a royal and usually elected Holy Roman Emperor. It developed in the Early Middle Ages, and lasted for a millennium until its dissolution in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars. Initially, it comprised three parts—Germany, Italy, and Burgundy—held together mostly by the emperor's overlordship.
