1272 - In case you don't already know, I should probably explain how you get to be emperor. According to tradition there are seven electors who decide on who will be king. Four of the electors are secular princes and three of the electors are archbishops for the church. (It sounds simple enough, but getting seven people to agree on one king has proven a bigger challenge than it should be. When the electors' votes split, we could end up with two kings. Seriously, just pick someone! I'm kind of sick of civil unrest.)
Ok, that's step one. The second part involves getting approval from the pope to be crowned emperor. That's been the other tricky part.
We haven't had a elected king since 1260 but we'll see what happens next, I hear there may be a new emperor soon...
