As we all know, electing the Holy Roman Emperor caused significant problems due to multiple claimants, lineages, factions, power, influence and external influences.

I asked the issue of the German stem duchies some time ago, but I focused mainly on the duchies. Now about the election in itself - how did the actual election go?

Did they... vote? (a democracy in the 12-14th century!)

They gathered where, how did they vote, did they bring their vassals...?

Thank you.
