The so-called Holy Roman Empire, full name: the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, or the Holy Roman Empire of the Germanic peoples.

It was a feudal monarchy empire that spanned Western and Central Europe from 962 to 1806, and included present-day Germany, northeastern France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other places

In 962 AD, King Otto I of Germany (formerly the Kingdom of East Francia) was crowned Roman Emperor by the Pope in Rome.

Later, Frederick I changed the name of the country to the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire, together with the Western Roman Empire in Constantinople, is known as the two great empires, that is, the only two emperors.

Later, the predecessor of Russia, Grand Duke Ivan III of the Principality of Moscow, won Sophia, the niece of the last emperor of Byzantium, as his wife, introduced Byzantine court etiquette to Moscow, and adopted the emblem of the double-headed eagle of the Byzantine Empire as the national emblem of his country.

In this case, the supreme leader of Russia can no longer be called the Grand Duke, but should use the title of the two supreme rulers of Rome - Caesar.

Thus, the word "Tsar" (царь in Russian) was formed from the pronunciation of Caesar (Sha) in Slavonic, which is the origin of "Tsar".

In Europe, an era of legalism, other countries could only be called kings and dukes, and those who claimed to be emperors would be laughed at, or even attacked by a group.

For most of the empire's history, it consisted of hundreds of smaller subordinate units, including princes, principalities, counties, and free cities.

In the early days, the emperor was a feudal empire with actual power, but by the 14th century, it had evolved into a confederation empire that recognized the emperor as the supreme authority, and the emperor became a title.

The Confederation was invented by the Europeans, and in the early days of the United States, it was such a confederation country.

The Elector is the prince of the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation who has the right to elect the Holy Roman Emperor of Germany.

The emperor was elected by them, so Edward was dismissive of the false Holy Roman Emperor, who had no real rights.

On the surface, this is so, but Guy on the side can still hear that his majesty, the king, is still full of sourness in his tone, which is very strong.

Of course Edward was jealous, you know, this is the Emperor!

In the entire Western world, the only emperor was much more majestic than Queen Victoria's so-called Indian emperor.

Later, when you meet other kings, your status is directly higher, so you can't say it.

Of course, there was a hint of joy in Edward's heart.

The Habsburgs were too terrifying, and although the two countries became allies, if the allies were too strong, they were also frightening.

Some of the power has been reduced, and the status of the two countries is more equal.

…………

At this time, Philip II, who had just become the king of Spain, did a great thing, an unexpected thing, and a reasonable thing.

He moved his original administrative center from the wealthy Low Countries King Netherlands to Spain.

His father, Charles V, was Holy Roman Emperor, and his territory was everywhere, so he often called the shots from the Netherlands, or Spain, or Austria, or even from a small territory, and the relatively wealthy Netherlands became the administrative center.

But with Philip II, it didn't.

He lost the titles of Austria and Emperor, which meant that the Netherlands was an enclave relative to Spain.

Importantly, unlike Charles V, who was born in the Netherlands, he was born in Spain and spoke Spanish, but not French and German in the Netherlands, and the so-called money of the Netherlands did not give him comfort.

More importantly, the Netherlands was no longer the Netherlands it used to be, and the people here were becoming more and more cunning, and many of them turned their backs on the Almighty Lord and turned into the arms of heresy, much to the devout Catholic king.

Heresies, more hateful than infidels.

Therefore, the relocation of the administrative center has become an inevitable trend.

Madrid, was the first target he chose.

Although he did not explicitly claim to move the capital to Madrid, everyone knows that since the new king ascended the throne, orders were given from Madrid, and he took his court and lived in the Pardo Palace.

What's more, in a canyon just outside Madrid, thousands of workers are working non-stop to build a large royal palace for His Majesty.

Standing in front of the palace under construction, Philip II, with his prime minister and queen, and other court ministers, watched silently.

"Guys, this is a great place!" His Majesty the King said with a look of affection.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is indeed a good place, and all of Spain is a good place!" The new Prime Minister was Count Erin, a gentle middle-aged man.

It was evident that Count Erin had meant something, and the faces of several ministers in the court immediately moved and filled with a little anger.

But Philip II pretended not to see it, and continued:

"Yes! Such a wonderful place is the place where we live, you say? Count Erin! ”

"Of course, this is where only nobles like me should live!" Count Erin immediately complimented.

"What do you think, Mary?" He asked about his queen.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, this place is much better than the Netherlands!" Queen Mary sniffed lightly and said happily.

Mary's mother was from Aragon, and she spoke and listened to Spanish much better than the German and French places in the Netherlands.

"In such a beautiful place, how can inferior people be allowed to exist in this land, it will never be allowed!"

His Majesty's soft roar frightened the ministers beside him with trembling legs and their hearts trembling,

They know that today, I'm afraid something important is going to happen.

"No one of 'impure blood' will be allowed to serve in the Church in the Kingdom of Castile!"

He cried out in a loud voice: "Pagans in Germany and France...... All are of the Jewish race. ”

The current Kingdom of Spain was a merger of the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon, and Philip II came from the Kingdom of Castile, so naturally it is still the old habit to call it the Kingdom of Colorile.

The name of the current Kingdom of Spain was officially merged into one country in 1837 by Queen Isabella II after passing the constitutional monarchy act, and decided to use the Spanish word "Espana" (n has a wavy phonetic transcription pronounced similar to "stuffed", Phoenician, meaning "hare"), thus ending the co-confederation model that has lasted for more than 300 years.

As soon as such cruel words came out, the ministers' faces were different.
