Synopsis
The stamp of the institutions and politics of the old Empire is still evident in twentieth-century Europe, and many of the divisions and struggles in modern Europe, as well as the political ideals, have their roots in the Holy Roman Empire. It is Friedrich Heer's special achievement to have recognised and demonstrated the basic unity of European history. This unity is clearly shown in the history as an essentially European institution, starting with the coronation of Charlemagne in Rome on Christmas Day 800, and ending with the illegal suspension of the Empire by Francis II in 1806 under pressure from Napoleon. Within the chronological framework Professor Heer follows up certain themes throughout the book - the status of the Emperor and meaning of kingship and leadership; the structure of the Empire, which was a federation, never an absolutist state; the internal struggles within the imperial system, and the constant struggle with rival empires in the west and east; the ever-shifting centres of gravity of the Empire, Aachen and the Rhineland, Rome, Nuremberg, Sicily, Madrid, Prague and Vienna; the large measure of political and religious toleration, and the unending struggles between Empire and Church; and the ever-present ideal of a united Europe.
