¹Constitutionally the entity dealt here is the Reich ruled by the king elected by the electors
(Kurfürsten) and crowned king. (It is a matter of dispute whether the king acquires his ruling
authority with the election or only with the coronation; both dates are given in the following
record.) In theory, his title is just King (König) without territorial appendage. By the time
period covered here, it was understood that the king had acquired the dignity and notional

authority of a Roman emperor (see below), and the scope of his authority as such was styled
the Holy Roman Empire (Heiliges Römisches Reich - Sacrum Romanum Imperium); the addition "of
the German Nation" (deutscher Nation - nationis germanicae) comes into official use in the
15th century (e.g., Act of the Imperial Diet [Reichsschluss] of 1486); its meaning has been
the subject of considerable dispute since the 17th century. In the time period covered, the
imperial authority extended de facto (except for some vestigial remnants, such as the
chartering of notaries-public throughout Western Europe) only to the (German) Reich, and
official use made no distinctions.
Upon his election (and coronation) the person acquired the style of king, whether during the
lifetime of the ruler or after an interregnum. Theoretically, he was king just as much as an
existing ruler, but this was just theory. In honor of the imperial status of the ruler, the
elected and crowned king, if not yet emperor-elect (see above), was styled, not just King or
German King, but Roman King (Römischer König - Rex Romanorum, literally "king of the Romans").
With the demise of the imperial authority, by death or abdication, if a Roman King was in
existence, he took the style of Roman Emperor-Elect, King in Germany (see above). The imperial
coronation by the pope having been discontinued (except for Karl V 24 Feb 1530), it was
decided 4 Feb 1508 to forego the formal acquisition of the style of Roman Emperor and to fall
back on the theory that an elected German king was ipso facto Roman emperor-elect and to make
this point by incorporating this concept into the ruler's style.
The full style during the period covered (to which were, of course, attached the styles
belonging to the states ruled by the emperor-elect, such as Archduke of Austria) was as
follows: Von Gottes Gnaden erwählter römischer Kaiser, R.I.S.A., König in Germanien - Divina
favente clementia Romanorum imperator electus et semper augustus, R.I.S.A., rex in Germania.
The initials R.I.S.A. stood for Romanorum imperator semper augustus, but were misinterpreted
to stand for Romani imperii semper auctor, and this misinterpretation had by the period
covered come into official use, being rendered in German as zu allen Zeiten Mehrer des Reichs
("at all times increaser of the empire").
Under the provisions of the Golden Bull of 1356, when there was no king the royal authority
was exercised by two imperial vicars (Reichsvikare - vicarii imperii), each with a separate
territorial jurisdiction. They were specified to be the count palatine of the Rhine (Pfalzgraf
bei Rhein) and the count palatine of Saxony (Pfalzgraf von Sachsen). By the time period
covered, the count palatine of Saxony was the duke of Saxony, elector; and the count palatine
of the Rhine was the elector with that title, until the interregnum of 1657, when the
electorate in question, and with it the county palatine, were in dispute with Bavaria.

Note: Under the aegis of Napoléon I, Emperor of the French and King of Italy, a confederation
of states resigning from the Reich was formed 25 Jul 1806, Napoléon becoming protecteur de la
Confédération du Rhin in addition to his other styles. The Charter (Rheinbundsakte in German)
was written in the French language, and called the entity États confédérés du Rhin, but used
the term Confédération. The official German term was Rhein-Confoederation, but it was
informally styled Rheinbund, the name by which it is known to history. The constituents of the
Confederation were technically not states, but rulers. By joining the Confederation some had
their rank elevated, notably a few who became grand-dukes (Grossherzöge), who were regarded as
of royal status. The Diet of the Confederation, as well as its College of Kings, was chaired
by the former Archbishop of Mayence, Imperial Archchancellor and Elector, in his capacity as
Prince-Primate (Fürstprimas).

Note: After the dissolution of the Rhine Confederation, there was no central authority in
Germany until the creation of the German Confederation. An attempt at coordination was,
however, made, and it was headed by a body called Central Administration Council
(Zentralverwaltungsrat).

²According to the Charter of the German Confederation, "Austria has the chair in the Federal
Assembly." Although the Charter does not use the term, this chairmanship is officially styled
Präsidium or Bundespräsidium; it is ambiguous whether this style refers to the person or
office of the Emperor of Austria.
³According to the Constitution of the North German Confederation, "The Crown of Prussia is
entitled to the Presidency of the Confederation" (Präsidium des Bundes). The office does not
confer a specific style on the King of Prussia; when exercising it, the style used is "King of
Prussia in the name of the North German Confederation."
