The Imperial Order of the Holy Roman Empire

sebati.blog.com The Holy Roman Empire was formally founded in the year 800 by Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Lombards, who revived the Imperial August Title of Roman Emperor in the West. According to Carolingian theory, the Roman Empire had merely been suspended, not ended, by the abdication of the last Roman Emperor Romulus Augustus in 476. On Christmas Day, In the year 800 AD Pope Leo III, Crowned Charlemagne Roman Emperor, in St.Peters, Rome, probably perceived more as a personal Imperial Title than as a reference to a particular Territorial Rule.

From the death of Arnulf (899), the last Carolingian to hold the Imperial Title, until Emperor Otto's Coronation in Rome by Pope John XII, various rulers bore the Imperial Title but exercised no authority; among them were Louis III, King of Provence, and Berengar I, King of Italy. From the time of Otto's reign the Imperial office was based on the German Kingship. The German King, elected by the German Princes, automatically sought Imperial Coronation by the Pope, the Churchmen who crowned the Emperors, and thus actually sustained the Empire, considered it to be the Church's Secular arm, sharing responsibility for the welfare and spread of the Christian faith and duty-bound to protect the Papacy. This view of the relationship between Church and state, which dated from the reign of Roman Emperor Constantine I, was generally accepted by both Emperors and Popes.

THE IMPERIAL ORDER AND ASSOCIATION OF THE NOBILITY OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE was established in a meeting of the Reichs-Council of the Holy Roman Empire, in London on September 1st, 1999.
