I love the visual aspect of visiting your elderly with the entire pomp of vassals. Makes it funny to imagine.
Thank you Brandy!

Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Election of the Holy Roman Emperor
I am confused by your original question and the answer to it.
In the original question you mention Stem Duchies. The answer was about the HRE after the Golden Bull - both do not mix.
The Empire had Stem Duchies only during it’s time as the Eastern Frankish Empire and early HRE - but which were split into smaller territorial duchies under the Hohenstaufens.
The 7 electors of the HRE after the Golden Bull were completely different entities than the Stem Duchies, with only Bavaria making the transition from Stem Duchy to territorial duchy and then having no vote because the electoral vote was held by the Palatinate.
Re: Election of the Holy Roman Emperor
The numbers of Electors did vary during latter centuries, at one time there were 9.
The size of a coronation procession could be huge: Nicolaas Hogenberg's 'Emperor Charles V in procession after his coronation by Pope Clement VII at Bologna', 1530 is made up of 38 plates.

Those coronation plates are very impressive! How were they made?

They were etched, then multiple copies were printed.Originally Posted by Xantan

Re: Election of the Holy Roman Emperor
In an earlier thread he asked about stem duchies. This time he is asking about elections. I focussed my answer on post Golden Bull because I know a little about that but not at all about pre Golden Bull. If you know about elections pre Golden Bull, (or post for that matter) please don't be shy about contributing your knowledge.
In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming; he laughed loudly in the night-time; he clawed the dying sinner, pounced on the unbaptized babe, and twisted the limbs of the epileptic. A foul fiend slunk ever by a man's side and whispered villainies in his ear, while above him there hovered an angel of grace . . .

Re: Election of the Holy Roman Emperor
Why did you have to bring all these noisy MEN dear? The Marquis de Sade is welcome any time. Such a nice young man. I don't believe a WORD about what they say he did to his mother. But I can't abide the bishop of Wurtemburg. I'm sure a bishop shouldn't even KNOW half the words he uses. I've never been so shocked. I don't know how his mistress can stand him.I love the visual aspect of visiting your elderly with the entire pomp of vassals. Makes it funny to imagine.
Thank you Brandy!
What mistress grandma?
Either of them!
Yes, there could be some comic potential.
